Hi John,

I’m reaching out this weekend because World Autism Month is almost over, and when that happens, this exclusive 4X matching gift offer goes away. Have you taken the opportunity this month to see your generous gift matched $4 for every $1? Make a tax-deductible donation to Autism Speaks that will deliver four times the support and services to families in the autism community.

Every year, World Autism Month brings the stories, struggles and triumphs of autistic people and their loved ones front and center. We celebrate and champion these unique and courageous individuals, and we boldly recommit to the idea that each of us can be fearless in our acceptance and advocacy on their behalf.

But make no mistake, John: Our country and global society have a long way to go toward realizing a world where every person on the spectrum can reach their full potential. Glaring disparities in health care, employment, education, housing and quality of life for autistic individuals persist. Discrimination, misconceptions and misinformation have been emboldened and are very real threats to the millions of Americans who are autistic.

Autism Speaks is ready to ACT fearlessly for change. We have the power to improve lives, change minds and create an inclusive world where everyone belongs. We can only do it with your support. Are you in?

For the final four days of World Autism Month, every gift up to $100,000 is matched four-fold. If you’ve been waiting, if you are proud to call yourself a champion for the autism community, if you want to make 4X the impact with your gift — donate right now.

Thank you for your compassion, this month and always,

Keith Wargo
President & CEO
Autism Speaks
