Thank you for being a part of Take Action for Autism Weekend! By donating a portion of your sales or a flat amount, you're supporting life-changing support for people with autism in our communities. 

We want to help make your impact go further during Take Action for Autism Weekend by helping you promote your important involvement. Customers are more likely to show up and show support when they know you're taking part. 

We've Made it Easy for You

Easterseals Midwest will promote all partners across social media who have confirmed their partnership before April 1, but our reach only goes so far. Your customers, followers, and community are what make this weekend successful. 

Partners who promote consistently see the strongest results. 

Download our Partner Assets, which includes the Take Action for Autism logo, flyers, social media images, and story images for you and your staff to share. You will be receiving window clings and flyer stands for your counter from our team closer to the weekend.

Here's what works:

  1. Share on social media multiple times leading up to Take Action for Autism Weekend and during the weekend
  2. Encourage your staff and followers to share. More shares mean more networks of friends and family are reached.
  3. Display flyers and window clings prominently.
  4. Talk to customers in-store about the promotion. 
  5. Share why you are participating. Your passion can inspire others to give. 

Media Opportunities

Leading up to the weekend, we will be promoting Take Action for Autism Weekend to local news outlets. If you are interested in participating in interviews or media features, please contact your community relations staff. 

Businesses offering a unique item, exclusive promotion or that have a personal connection to Easterseals' mission are more likely to be selected for media coverage.
