2010 Charity Challenge Fun Run
Once again ASI has been chosen as one of the official charities that will be benefiting from the 2010 Charity Challenge Fun Run. The 8K, 3K Run/Walk or 1K Kids Dash takes place on the Sunday, September 19 starting at 9am along the downtown riverfront. Last year ASI was the winning charity and we raised nearly $7,000. Let's have a repeat! This year we're setting our goals even higher and have partnered with the Windsor-Essex Chapter of Autism Ontario to get more people walking for autism.
This is a great event to raise money for our organization. Each race participant receives a pledge sheet where they can indicate the charity they will be raising money for. Please be sure to print "Autism Services Inc." on each of your pledge sheets. There is a nonimal fee to register which will be waived if $100 or more in pledges is raised--easy to do, just ask 10 friends or family to sponsor you for $10! Best of all, 100% of pledges received go to the charities involved. For more information please contact the office. Pledge sheets are available at the office or online at www.runningfactory.com.
MonkeyTown-ASI Charity Night
We are pleased to announce a new fundraising initiative. Every third Wednesday of the month starting Wednesday, April 21, Autism Services Inc. will be the designated charity at Monkey Town. What this means is that on these days from 4pm to 8pm, $1 from each regular admission will come to ASI as well as 10% of any Melissa & Doug merchandise sales. Please pass the word on to friends, family, neighbours, colleagues, and everyone you know with children. The more kids that come out on our charity night, the more money we can raise!
Monkey Town is a 3,700 square foot indoor playspace designed mainly for kids ages 7 and under, featuring a play area covered in mats for comfort and safety. The regular admission price is $6.50 per child. Money Town is located at 3181 Marentette Ave., behind Devonshire Mall.
