Chip In for Autism
AN
EVENT
On Saturday, October 15, 2016, the Chicagoland Chapter of Autism Speaks will host its inaugural Chip in for Autism,
an evening of fun and games to be held at EuroFurniture in Chicago. Please join us for this glamorous and festive event
highlighted by high-end food, cocktails, casino-style table games including Blackjack, Roulette and Craps, celebrity
appearances and a silent auction. Over 300 guests are expected to celebrate our chapter and help us change the future
for all who struggle with autism.
Autism is a general term used to describe a group of developmental brain disorders caused by a combination of genetic
and environmental influences. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by communication difficulties, social
and behavioral challenges, and repetitive behaviors. An estimated 1 in 68 children in the U.S. is on the autism
spectrum – a ten-fold increase in prevalence in 40 years. Autism affects over 3 million people in the United States and
tens of millions worldwide.
Autism Speaks is the world’s leading autism science and advocacy organization and the Chicagoland Chapter is one of
the first and strongest of its chapters. Chip in for Autism is our chapter’s inaugural casino-themed gala. Our goal for
the event is to raise autism awareness and funds that can be used for local autism research and to provide resources to
Chicago-area families in need.
We hope you will join us at our Chip in for Autism event and ask that you consider becoming an event sponsor. Please
