Dear John,

Today is the Autism Speaks annual Day of Tribute. If you would like to celebrate a loved one with autism, an invaluable caregiver or anyone else special to you in our community, I invite you to make a tribute gift on our Day of Tribute. Give in honor of your loved one today.

Every day, Autism Speaks is here to help people with autism reach their full potential. We're here for families in some of the toughest moments, from diagnosis to transition to adulthood to accessing inclusive, compassionate resources for seniors. We're here for the people who need us, when they need us.

Our annual Day of Tribute celebrates the courage and resilience of these individuals — and our fearless resolve to create a world where every autistic person can thrive and be loved exactly for who they are.

Today, I am especially grateful for my family, including my beautiful son, A.J., who is on the spectrum, and for the dedication of this Autism Speaks community. John, our Day of Tribute is an opportunity for you to honor or remember a loved one with a personalized tribute gift, so consider making one before midnight tonight.

Thank you from all of us at Autism Speaks,

Keith Wargo
President & CEO
