Fashion for a Cure: Autism Speaks

My blogging friend Jen from Balancing Beauty & Bedlam told me about an INCREDIBLE company doing something fashionably INCREDIBLE.

Sevenly, a new philanthropic company, partners with a new charity every week. Every single week. The beauty is, you have the power to help amazing charities raise money just by posting. I absolutely love this and excited to support Sevenly!

This week’s charity (starting TODAY at noon) is Autism Speaks.

Autism affects more children than we can even imagine, and this week is the second of Sevenly’s huge matching grant donations. They will be donating $21 directly to Austism Speaks for each tee or tote bag purchase up to $21K.

Imagine being unable to express your thoughts and feelings, or being a parent to a child who is unable to communicate their wants and needs. This is a reality for thousands of families affected by autism.

For many children with autism, therapeutic technology plays a vital role in developing communication skills. This week your support provides families of children with autism the tools, resources, and therapy to unlock a child’s voice, allowing them to communicate with their family for the first time.

Autism Speaks’ goal is to change the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders.
