The H.U. Lee Memorial Foundation and ATA Headquarters are excited to announce a brand new partnership with Autism Speaks. Beginning April 2014, you can host a single fundraiser and benefit two great organizations!
Partnership Details:
ATA licensed locations can raise money through any method they choose, while raising awareness about Autism Speaks, and simultaneously gaining exposure for their school.
For any funds raise and submitted to Autism Speaks, .50 cents on every dollar raised will be matched and donated to the H.U. Lee Foundation. That means 50% of what you raise for Autism Speaks will also be donated to the Foundation.
All of the funds received by the H.U. Lee Foundation will directly contribute to the National Scholarship Fund.
Licensee Advances:
Licensed locations that raise a minimum of $500 for Autism Speaks will be entitled to participate in a local Walk Now for Autism Speaks event. Participation in this event will provide a chance to promote and expand their business, and may offer the following benefits:
– A table in the Resource Fair to promote their programs.
– Exposure to an audience of 1,000 to 25,000 families in the autistic community.
– Martial arts demonstration/performance during the event
– Signage created by Autism Speaks for participating licensees to display in their licensed location.
– Social media posts and media exposure to local and national audiences.
*Any and all funds raised by the licensed locations for Autism Speaks, through whatever means, will be reported to Autism Speaks through the website created for ATA licensed locations.

ABOUT AUTISM SPEAKS
Autism Speaks was founded in February 2005 by Bob and Suzanne Wright. Since then, Autism Speaks has grown into the world’s leading autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families. We are proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish and look forward to continued successes in the years ahead. For more information on this foundation go tohttp://www.autismspeaks.org
