Hi - I appreciate you taking the time to visit my fundraising page.

I’m taking part in my company's (NaviNet) Autism Awareness Week to raise money for Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism.  Please sponsor me (even if it's just a few dollars).

 

How will my money be used?

Many services for autistic children are not covered by insurance companies therefore leaving many families with a huge financial burden.  Your money will be used to:

• Aid financially disadvantaged families who need assistance in caring for their children with autism.
• Fund education and research into the causes and consequences of childhood autism.
  

What is NaviNet doing?

Navinet will be holding a 5K Walk around the Charles River on September 14th, 2009.

 

What is Sachin Bhatt doing?

In addition to participating in the 5K walk, I will do a 4 mile run around Castle Island in South Boston.  

 

Unfortunately I am not able to sponsor you.  Is there anything else I could do?

Yes!  Help me get the word out about my efforts.  You could email friends and colleagues; post my link (http://www.firstgiving.com/sachinbhatt2) on your Facebook / MySpace / Twitter.

 

I've already donated. What more do you want?
See the answer to the previous question.

All donations are secure and sent directly to Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism by FirstGiving.com, who will email you a printable record of your donation for a tax break.

Autism Facts:

• Autism is a neurological disorder that impairs communication, behavior, and social skills.
• There is no medical detection or cure for Autism.
• Autism was first identified in 1943 by Dr. Leo Kanner of Johns Hopkins Hospital.
• 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with Autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined.
• A big myth is that Autism can be outgrown. It cannot. However, it can be treated and children and adults with Autism can lead productive and happy lives - and so can their families.
