Mayer-Johnson to Offer $10,000 Donation Match for Autism Awareness Month
DONATE HERE
Boston, MA – The National Autism Association (NAA) announced today the launch of a $10,000 match donation program supported by Mayer-Johnson, the maker of products to support participation, communication and learning for students with autism.
“We are delighted to have such a generous corporate sponsor during autism awareness month,” says NAA President Wendy Fournier. “This effort not only shows their commitment to the autism community, but indicates their desire to get others involved by supporting our organization as well.”
This matching opportunity will allow NAA to raise a total of $20,000 in the month of April. For each donation made through the dedicated portal, Mayer-Johnson will match it dollar for dollar. Donors may visit the official NAA web site at www.nationalautism.org for information on how to make their donation beginning April 1.
“We are proud to partner with the National Autism Association during Autism Awareness Month,” said Michelle Heying, President and COO of DynaVox Mayer-Johnson. “The funds raised through individual donations - and matched by Mayer-Johnson - will help support the many families affected by autism by providing access to resources, information, and grants that are so desperately needed.”
Since 2003, NAA has been providing advocacy services, direct assistance and valuable resources to individuals with autism and their families. Donations received continue to provide the much needed funding to support NAA’s grants for financial assistance for therapies and treatments as well as autism safety initiatives like its Big Red Safety Box program.
Autism affects 1 in 88 and is the fastest growing developmental disorder, yet continues to be the most underfunded. To make a donation and receive the match, please click here.
