Talk About Curing Autism National E-Newsletter

On April 18, 2012, Oakley's ONE ICON quarterly magazine took an in-depth look at Talk About Curing Autism, the issues faced by families living with Autism and how friends of Oakley can get involved.

Autism is widely misunderstood. Recognizing that awareness is key, Oakley hopes to shed light on the reality of life with Autism. Four TACA families graciously invited Oakley into their homes to share their stories and the result is a touching narrative of strength, hope and community in which TACA plays a pivotal role.

To view this important effort to educate and personalize the mysterious disease that is Autism, encourage the families affected and support TACA programs - please download the ONE ICON Magazine app on iTunes (online magazine is free.)

In honor of Autism "Action" Month, we challenge you to help us talk about autism. We set a goal to raise $105,000 through TACA members, friends, and employees so we can continue to provide services to support families on the journey.

We have officially kicked off our online fundraising campaign and we are now asking YOU to join us in the process. Please consider helping us reach our goal - in 10 minutes you can make huge difference for families across the U.S.

Click here to start fundraising today and spread the word through your personal fundraising campaign or to make a general donation. We welcome all levels of donations, whether it's a one-time gift, a monthly donation or the establishment of a matching gifts program. For more information about the campaign, please visit our 2012 Family & Friends Campaign website.

"It takes a village to make a difference and we need our village to help." - Lisa Ackerman, TACA Founder and mother to Jeff and Lauren.
