Association for Science in Autism Treatment
May was auction month at ASAT and this, our 9th Annual Autism Awareness Campaign & Auction was our most successful to date! Thanks to all of you who participated in the 2019 auction on Bidding for Good we raised over $11,000 that will be used to support our central mission of promoting effective, science-based treatments for people with autism.
Supporters bidding on items this year had an amazing array of choices. A week at a luxury Caribbean resort, conference tickets to ABA conferences around the world, books autographed by leaders in the field of applied behavior analysis, tickets to theatre and sporting events, signed sports memorabilia, an afternoon wine tasting at a California vineyard, and a 3.5 gallon tin of flavored popcorn were available for bidding.
How will we use the monies raised from the 2019 Auction? Our focus this year is to get accurate science-based information to those who need it most. We are working on expanding and optimizing our website, increasing the distribution of our monthly publication Science in Autism Treatment, and creating flyers that provide information about autism awareness to community centers and pediatricians. We are also hard at work arranging translations of our materials into several languages including Hindi, Arabic, Mandarin, Spanish
Again, our deepest appreciation for all of you who made the 2019 Auction a success. We are already excited about the 2020 auction and hope you are too! The list of individuals, organizations, and businesses that contributed to our success this year can be found below. Thank You!!
