Letter from Greg Cohen, Curator of Heroes For Autism
I really love this letter. I actually stumbled upon it before I got the okay from Greg that I could help with distributing it. If you feel strongly about this event and cause, please help in getting the word out. There are various ways one can help and money doesn't even have to be one of them. :) It's like what Greg Grunberg says about epilepsy: Talk about it.
Friends and Heroes,
Here comes the big push...
www.heroesforautism.com has finally arrived, please check it out!
Don Short and I founded Heroes For Autism in November, and together with many other people, we have been working night and day to produce something really special. I honestly feel it’s the best work I’ve done, and I’m proud to share it with you.
Tickets are now on sale, and so we're asking for help. We need to sell 500 tickets, and this can only be done when we join together. We are thankful some people have already committed to selling 10 pairs of tickets to benefit this fundraiser. We encourage you to help out in a similar way. We will gladly recognize anyone who has sold a bulk of tickets.
The show is going to be an amazing night of world class art and music, and it’s going to help a lot of people who struggle daily with autism. I truly hope you can be part of it in some way.
If you have any thoughts or questions of any kind, please let me know.
Thank you!
Greg

Autism is the fastest growing serious disorder in America today.
It affects more people than pediatric cancer, diabetes and AIDS combined,
and occurs in all racial, ethnic, and social groups.
1 in 150 children born today will be diagnosed with autism.
The cause is unknown, and there is no cure.
Heroes For Autism is a one-night only, high-profile celebration of art and music in the name of autism. NBC's HEROES and Autism Speaks have come together to host a silent auction, featuring mixed media artwork by its cast and crew alongside artwork by artists who have autism. The evening includes a VIP cocktail hour and performances by Wendy and Lisa’s all-star band, and the celebrity Band From TV, featuring Hugh Laurie, Greg Grunberg, and James Denton, among others. KCRW's Jeremy Sole spins throughout. The star studded event is designed to raise awareness about the epidemic. All money raised will go to Autism Speaks. When: Sunday, April 19th Where: The Avalon Hollywood, 1735 Vine Street, LA, CA 90028.
Tickets: VIP $200, GA $70. For more info and to buy tickets: www.heroesforautism.com
