Hi John — Happy New Year's Eve!

As I do every year, I'm reflecting today on the extraordinary dedication of the Autism Speaks family of supporters, donors, Walk participants, advocates and more. Each and every one of you has fueled a year of life-changing impact for autistic individuals, a year of relief for families and caregivers and a year of progress towards an inclusive world that celebrates and accepts everyone.

Looking ahead to next year, our work on behalf of the autism community must continue with renewed passion and urgency. I'm asking before the end of the year: Will you maximize your impact by taking advantage of our 4X matching gift offer by midnight?

This is my last ask of our community before we close the books on 2023, and John, I hope you know what the power a 4:1 matched gift delivers for people with autism:

• 4X the programs, services and free resources that families depend on at every stage of life — Power 4X the support >>
• 4X the research breakthroughs and innovation that enhance the lives and health outcomes for people on the spectrum — Power 4X the research investment >>
• 4X the awareness, advocacy and coalition-building that create a more empathetic world, one relationship at a time — Power 4X the inclusion work >>

This matching gift offer is our biggest of the year, and you only have a few short hours left to claim yours. Make your tax-deductible donation before midnight and deliver four times the impact for the unstoppable autism community in 2024:

Thank you for your generosity,

Keith Wargo
President & CEO
Autism Speaks

P.S. I'm personally thrilled by the amazing generosity of the anonymous couple who are longtime supporters and volunteer leaders at Autism Speaks to match every gift four-to-one until midnight, up to $250,000. Give now for FOUR times the impact!
