Dear Friends and Colleagues:
Hope you're doing well. I am honored to share that I will be receiving the 2024 Autism Speaks South Florida Community Impact Award at the Autism Speaks Miami Gala which will take place on Saturday, March 16, 2024, at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami.
I am touched by the effects of autism on the people I work with and love, and the immense challenges the caregivers face. The more I learn about what Autism Speaks has done for autistic individuals and caretakers, the more motivated I am to be associated with the cause. Autism Speaks embraces the autism community and has exponentially grown the nationwide resource guide providing families with increased access to thousands of support services. They continue to offer Autism Speaks Cares Grants to further research and support Service Providers in our community. I am most impressed by their commitment to finding companies willing to engage in their Workplace Inclusion Now initiative for employment opportunities, something that I highly value to improve the quality of life of adults with autism.
I wanted to personally reach out to invite you to join me in supporting Autism Speaks by becoming a sponsor. Please see sponsorship opportunities. I have committed to help Autism Speaks bring greater understanding and acceptance of autism to our community and with your support, I am certain that we can accomplish that.
Please reach out should you have any questions and/or need any further information regarding the gala and sponsorship opportunities.
Warmest Regards,
David Landsberg
