What do the colors and pieces on the ribbon mean?

What will we do with the puzzle pieces?

• The puzzle pieces that we sold for $1 will go toward buying toys for the children. We want them to be able to find comfort in the toys.

What would we do with Your money?

• We would use 25% of your money for the walk for Autism.• We would use 10% of your money plus 50% of the money

we make from the walk to buy toys for the kids who have autism. (All kids that have it in the area of the walk)

• We would use 50% of your money to do more autism research concerning vaccines and cures.

• The other 25% from the walk and the 15% you give us will go toward getting better programs for children with autism.

• The other 25 % that we make from the walk will go toward paying the workers that helped in the walk- including you.

How much are we asking for?
