2010 Palm Beach Walk Now for Autism Speaks
“I was proud to organize our company team for the Autism awareness walk and even more proud for the employee outpour, donations and support they offered. Those that shared this special day with us learned more about autism than they previously knew. Many of us researched websites and read articles only to learn the dreaded growing number of this terrible disorder and how many notable families have children afflicted as well. Our 2 mile walk drew us closer together for that day and hopefully for days to come in recognizing how lucky we are.” Robert Zingarelli - Worldwide Ticketcraft’s Team Captain
“It was nice to see a community get together to support a great cause and it was a wonderful first time experience.” Stephanie Laruy

A letter of congrats and thanks:
Hello Worldwide Ticketcraft Team,
Thank you and congratulations!!!! What a great day March 7, 2010 was for Autism Speaks and those that we serve! It was a beautiful day in downtown West Palm Beach in so many ways!
It is always heartwarming for us to see the sea of teams and individual wakers; many with beautiful t-shirts and inspirational signs walking together. We enjoyed talking to the families and walkers, catching up with long time supporters and meeting those new to the Walk. We can only hope you had as much fun as we did!
We are very pleased to report that so far we have raised over $301,000, with more money coming in every day. THAT EXCEEDS OUR GOAL BUT let’s see how high we can go! Even though the Walk was in March, just like our families live with autism every day, raising funds and awareness is a year round goal!
From the very bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your support! We look forward to seeing you all soon!
Sincerely,
Kathy McKibbin and Denise Negron
