#LightUNCBlue for autism research
Time left to participate in #LightUNCBlue:
How will you #LightUNCBlue?
Tuesday, April 2, 2019, World Autism Awareness Day, is the kickoff of #AutismAwareness Month, a time to strive towards universal understanding and acceptance of autism.
Imagine if we could diagnose autism before symptoms of the disorder even appear…
Imagine supporting life-changing autism research… you can!
Imagine what we can do TOGETHER.
On World Autism Awareness Day, donors, students, patients, and their families will also come together to launch a month-long fundraising campaign: #LightUNCBlue. The month of April will be dedicated to raising awareness and rallying support for the UNC Autism Research Center.
Autism personally affects tens of millions of people worldwide. By raising awareness and funding for the UNC Autism Research Center, we will #LightUNCBlue.
What is the best way for you to #LightUNCBlue? Make a gift to the UNC Autism Research Center today, and share with others why you give to create a ripple effect to inspire others to give as well.
