John, all year long, you’ve shown that you are committed to a kinder world for people with autism, so it was no surprise to me that you helped make this #GivingTuesday a great one! Yesterday, I watched in awe as our community came together - united in the spirit of giving - in support of people with autism, to help us meet the $50,000 match from a generous donor.

To show our thanks, here’s a message of kindness from a fellow member of our community, just for you:

If you didn't have the chance to give, it's not too late to contribute to keep the #GivingTuesday momentum going!

Your gift gets us one step closer to a world where all people with autism can reach their full potential by:

• Fueling greater understanding, acceptance and kindness toward people with autism.
• Advancing research breakthroughs that can enhance lives.
• Helping ensure every child receives early screening and access to the support they need.
• Empowering adults with autism to find, secure and retain meaningful work.
• Equipping our community with the tools and resources needed to lead fulfilling lives.

Thank you, as always, for being a part of our community.

P.S. Did you know that 85 cents of every dollar funds crucial research, advocacy, services and support for the needs of autistic people and their families? Your gift today will have a lasting impact for so many, and we are so grateful.
