Concert 4 Autism Reaching out to Country Music

 

Concerts 4 Autism has contacted us in an attempt to reach out to country music and fast. They would love if we can help make this event happen & involve country music acts. Last year they pioneered the 1st Live Music Event for Autism that impacts more children than pediatric cancers, AIDS and diabetes combined. What distinguishes the event is that it was streamed live online in order to connect with children and families who typically would never get to experience a live music event because they suffer with the devastating affects of Autism. This idea was inspired by the story of how music changed the life of one little boy with Autism in Colorado. The Concert reached thousands of families isolated by Autism FREE from CA to NY. The response from music fans and families with autism to this innovative blend of Music, Hope and Technology was overwhelming, and has inspired us to attempt to reach millions of families and fans around the world this year.

 

In order to reach their goals this year they need help getting out the vote and spreading the word to get willing and compassionate supporters of the cause to vote for the grant with the Pepsi Refresh Project. So far the grant project has gotten enough support to have risen over 200 places in 20 days, but needs even more voters to realize our goal of making it to the top by March 31st.

 

All Supporters need to do to help is register and vote HERE.

 

It’s absolutely FREE and takes less than a minute. Once people are registered they can vote once per day for the rest of March. We encourage people to vote everyday, including weekends since every vote counts. Making a Difference for children and families with Autism has never been this easy.
