S.P.E.A.K. Up

I have decided to change my independent component to an event to support Autism Speaks. My goal is to donate $1,000.00 by primarily selling puzzle pieces for $1 each. Since the component is due February 1, I know I can reach my goal. The proceeds will go to Autism Speaks Inc. For a culminating event for the independent component, my team and I will coordinate a walk open to any all supporters of ASD. It will be entitled S.P.E.A.K. Up & Walk 4 Autism.

S.P.E.A.K. stands for this:
Supporting
&
Promoting
Education
about/for*
Autistic Kids

The reason I chose this for my IC is because psychiatrists are constantly promoting awareness whether it be through papers, attending conferences, or serving on a committee board such as the Autism Society. Well, since I am not qualified to any other those, I figured this is the best way for me to raise awareness for ASD and the people dealing with it.

If you're interested in helping me sell puzzle pieces or attending the walk, here is my webpage.
