WHY BUBBLES?
JOIN US! Bubbles are symbols of joy, hope
and laughter. They bring people together.
When we Blow Bubbles for Autism together,
we create a new awareness of families facing
autism. We are a 501 (C) 3 registered nonprofit organization in Southern New Jersey
comprised of parents, siblings, and
professionals who know that awareness is the
beginning of acceptance. Bubbles make people
happy, so why not make a difference AND be
happy? People all over the world will be blowing bubbles of support on
April, as they have for the past ten years. Last year, we had over 57,000
people join us.

WAYS CAN YOU SPREAD AWARENESS…
1. Blow Bubbles -- We are asking businesses and
students in schools to help out the FACES 4 Autism by
spreading autism awareness in the form of glycerin
bubbles across the sky as
messages of hope to families
dealing with autism.
• 2. Make A Ribbon -- This year,
we care challenging you to
create human autism ribbons
at your locations, and share the
photos on social media, and with the press. Show them
that we are autism friendly!
•
3. Call the Media! Make signs, posters, have contests,
coloring pages, read books about autism. Send us your
photos to post on our Facebook page and we will share
ours with you!
•
4. Raise money for local Autism Support Groups.
We have expanded our focus to include fundraising since
many of the students have been creating their own
fundraisers for us. Last year, students raised over $3,000
with dress-down days, selling awareness “puzzle” pins,
designing t-shirts, having awareness carnivals, walk-athons, and even pretzel sales. Contact us for ideas at
bubbles4autism@yahoo.com
•
5. Tell US what you do. Designate a chairperson for the
event, and we will be happy to help out with links, speaker
ideas, autism information sheets, flyers, handouts, and
even ideas! We hope to garner your support this year.
Thank you for time, and we hope to hear from you soon!
We believe in LOCAL support. It is local money helping people with autism now! Reach out to your LOCAL autism organizations, and help them today. If you need help finding your local group, please contact us and we will find out for you. DONATE:
Last year’s Bubbles Day monies helped children and families
with autism to attend special trainings for autism all over the
world to educate teachers and families on autism, and to offer
children the chance to play at special events just for them.
