Overview

The CONCERT 4 AUTISM combines a live concert event with an online broadcast to raise funds and elevate awareness about a life-long disability that impacts more children each year than pediatric cancers, AIDS and diabetes combined. The event will deliver a message of hope that families isolated by autism desperately need, while inspiring onsite and online audiences to get involved and make a difference in their own communities. The event will raise funds through ticket sales, online donations, merchandise sales and the post event DVD. 100% of the funds raised will be used to train community-based professionals and to provide direct services and supports to children and families with Autism.
