IT'S AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH!

...and Discovery Toys, Inc. is taking action!


WORLD’S LARGEST PUZZLE FOR AUTISM AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

Celebrities Against Autism, along with primary sponsors Discovery Toys and Flagstar Bank, has embarked on a mission to assemble the World’s Largest Puzzle to build global awareness and acceptance for children with autism. Everyone, from individuals to families to community groups to corporations, can participate in the record-breaking endeavor by purchasing puzzle pieces for a $1.00 donation per piece. As the donations are collected, the pieces will be added to the World’s Largest Puzzle, with over a million pieces, gradually revealing an original image that will keep everyone guessing until the very end. The funds raised will be used to generate media exposure for Autism and to support families in need with children with Autism.

Celebrities Against Autism
“At Celebrities Against Autism, our #1 Priority is promoting public awareness.
We believe awareness, acceptance, and information help families and our society deal with this devastating disorder.”
Val McFarland, President

Celebrities Against Autism was started by Valarie and Kevin McFarland as an idea to attract much needed autism awareness and acceptance. Their crusade began two years ago when they received the diagnosis that their beloved son Callahan has autism. Callahan is now four years old and receives more than 40 hours per week of one-on-one intensive early intervention therapy. Research shows that the earlier one-on-one therapy begins, the greatest chance children have to truly reach their full potential.

As the McFarlands searched for sources of support and networked with other families impacted by the neurological disorder, they discovered how difficult it was to both locate and afford quality treatment and how isolated families of children with autism can feel. They also learned that cases of autism are growing at a staggering rate, affecting 1 in 150 children today and particularly targeting boys, with 1 out of 94 boys being diagnosed.

With a network of contacts among a variety of celebrities, the McFarlands decided to enlist the support of well known individuals and groups to help gain exposure for their crusade. They realized, though, that they still needed a creative way to attract media attention. The puzzle piece is used extensively as a symbol throughout the autism community, inspiring the concept for building the World’s Largest Puzzle. The goals of the World's Largest Puzzle campaign are to generate world wide publicity for autism, raise funds to assist families and create additional advertising opportunities.

Campaign Overview
The campaign launches in April, National Autism Awareness month. Funds will be raised by selling official paper puzzle pieces for a $1.00 donation each. Paper puzzle pieces will be available to the public through select campaign sponsors, including Discovery Toys Educational Consultants and Flagstar Bank, and on the Celebrities Against Autism website. As the funds are delivered to Celebrities Against Autism, the matching number of pieces will be added to the World’s Largest Puzzle.

The puzzle will be assembled at a yet to be disclosed location in the Detroit area. The puzzle image has been designed to keep everyone guessing as the image is revealed. Everyone will be able to watch the puzzle being assembled on Celebritiesagainstautism.org. Discovery Toys is one of only four overall sponsors and the only children’s products company. Discovery Toys is also the only sponsor with both nationwide and continent-wide reach.

Various entertainment celebrities have pledged to help promote the campaign, including the following:

Gary Cole, actor

TV – Midnight Caller, West Wing, Kim Possible, Family Guy, American Gothic
Film – Office Space, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Dodgeball, Breach, Mozart and the Whale, I Spy, The Gift, A Simple Plan, The Brady Bunch Movie, In the Line of Fire
Stage – Founder of the Remains Theatre Ensemble, Member of Steppenwolf Theatre Ensemble
Special Note: Gary’s teenage daughter has autism

Rusted Root, band

Music – 8 albums
Sound Tracks – Ice Age (Send Me On My Way), Twister, Mathilda, Home for the Holidays, Party of Five, Homicide

Charlie Adams, drummer for Yanni

Music – 14 albums with Yanni
Soundtracks – Various films and TV shows, All the major sports networks
Special Note: Charlie has two sons with autism

Karen Newman, singer

Music – The Voice of the Detroit Red Wings, 3 albums

Stephen Clark, news anchor

TV – Co-anchor of “Action News at 6pm” on WXYZ Detroit

The names of additional celebrities will be released as endorsements are formalized. The campaign will also be featured on various talk and news shows and highlighted in a host of media publications.

Discovery Toys Sponsorship
The McFarlands were first introduced to Discovery Toys through Cal’s therapists, who use a number of our products and have nothing but praise for their quality and effectiveness. They can attest first hand to the tremendous learning value of Discovery Toys products for children with Autism, with a number of DT toys now in their house. Once they decided they wanted to partner with a toy retail company to effectively reach families, it was a “no-brainer” for them to approach Discovery Toys. Says Val McFarland, “Discovery Toys is the perfect partner for this campaign. The idea of including a sponsor that offers high quality educational toys that have been well researched and with a mission of Playing with a Purpose just made sense.”

Paper puzzle pieces are being offered for a one dollar donation per piece. You can obtain puzzle pieces from Discovery Toys in sets of 25 for a one dollar donation per set (Item #8796), which is passed along to Celebrities Against Autism. 100% of the donations received by the Home Office will be distributed to Celebrities Against Autism on a regular basis.

As a primary sponsor, Discovery Toys will receive recognition in all communications and publicity opportunities for the campaign. The Discovery Toys logo is printed on over 1 million paper puzzle pieces. Discovery Toys is also featured as a sponsor on the Celebrities Against Autism website.
