About the event
We have received several requests to do something for Autism Acceptance Day, just like we did for World Down Syndrome Day. We are starting small with this initiative, just like we did with WDSD, to see how it works and we hope to make it bigger next year. However, since it's a small time frame, we will require volunteers to make it happen.
We plan to send "Autism Acceptance Packs" to more than 2000 students. These packs will consist of a bracelet, a large postcard with FAQs, and a sticker to be worn on their shirt for the day. Additionally, we will send out over 140 books to local classrooms about diversity, inclusion, and acceptance.
But, we need your help to make this happen! We need volunteers to help us pack these packs, which are due to go out by the morning of the 15th. If we don't complete the task, we may need more help throughout the weekend.
We would appreciate it if you could RSVP in case we decide to get food or donuts. Thanks!
