Artists for Autism Awareness



I have made some illusions to some big things going on, the first of those big things is that I am forming my own non-profit, called Artists for Autism Awareness, or as I like to call it, “A Cubed”.  I know you all want to start donating right now, but you can’t yet, as we are still in the formation process, so you are going to have to wait a little bit.  However, here is what you can do: You can like our Facebook page www.facebook.com/artistsforautismawareness , you can follow us on Twitter @artists4autismA, you can go to our website www.artistsforautismawarness.com , and you can start spreading the word, share all this information with your friends and family.  This isn’t my non-profit, it is our non-profit.  It is a non-profit for everybody who has ever been affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder, PDD-NOS, hyperlexia, and the like.  Affected by being a parent, sibling, relative, family friend, caregiver, neighbor, or a person living with these conditions.  This is our chance to make a difference in these peoples lives, that we love so much.  So here is what you do, join the social media machines on our behalf, spread the word, ask your favorite artists to participate in our concert series, help anyway you can.  Here is what we are going to do: We are starting a concert series in April (April is autism awareness month) through www.stageit.com to raise funds for autism all year round.  Those funds are going to go to research through a partnership with www.autismspeaks.org , to outreach and awareness, to family services, and music therapy.  I promoted my first concert at the age of 18, I promoted my first concert for a non-profit at the age of 19 (a concert for Kenny Loggin’s charity Christmas Unity).  For those of you who know me, I am a tenacious SOB, and I am putting my heart and soul into this project.  There is so much excitement already buzzing around this idea, so join in the excitement, and be a part of something that is for an amazing cause.  If you have any questions, comments, or want to help, or just want to encourage me, don’t hesitate to contact me.  If you are an artists and want to do a show for A Cubed, then please, please contact me!  We can make a difference, come make a difference with me!
