Can You Feed the Need?

The folks at Autism Speaks are on the front lines of advocacy, research, and support of the complex brain disorder known as Autism that effects over 2 million people in the U.S. alone.  Obvious signs of Autism tend to appear when a child is 2 or 3 three years old and Autism effects boys five times more often than girls.

The Jazz 'N' Blue Festival presented by Blue Plate Radio on August 16 at the Simsbury Performing Arts Center will donate a portion of the festival proceeds to Autism Speaks to help them carry on their work.  For as little as $100, you can help sponsor this event and help promote the positive impact your business is having on the community and those directly and indirectly effected by Autism.  Sponsorship information can be found at this link:
