Girls Night Out to Benefit Autism Speaks

I generally do not make personal posts on this blog, however, I want to share with you an event I will be participating in on Thursday, September 17th. It is Richmond's first Girls Night Out! event to benefit Autism Speaks. Autism Speaks is an organization dedicated to funding global biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for autism; to raising public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society; and to bringing hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder.

So, what's the personal part of this post? I have a child with autism. We deal with this order every day, 24/7. I am proud to participate in this event and hope that if you are in the Richmond, VA area you will come out to support this fundraiser. If you're not local please consider getting informed and getting involved in events in your area to benefit Autism Speaks. You can visit their website at: www.autismspeaks.org

Here are the details on Girls Night Out! to benefit Autism Speaks

Girls Night Out! will be filled with shopping, food, and more all for a great cause held at The Colony Club in downtown Richmond. There will be shopping from over 40 vendors, salsa lessons, food, wine, mini spa services, door prizes and more! Tickets are only $15.00. For more information on the event or to purchase tickets or VIP packages, please check the website at girlsnightoutrichmond.webs.com.

Shine A Light


We are thrilled to have been nominated for a chance to compete in the Shine A Light Contest and are humbly asking for your help.

What is "Shine A Light"?

From their website:

"Everyday small business are leading our country and their local communities to a new and better way of working and thinking. Through good times and bad, their resilience and entrepreneurial spirit can serve as an inspiration to us all.

That's why American Express, in partnership with NBC Universal, is inviting you to "shine a light" on a small business that you find inspiring. Has this business adopted an innovative approach to surviving tough times? Does it believe in a customer-first mentality? Does it give back to the community? We want to hear the story - in your words."

Nominated businesses have a chance to compete for $100,000 in grant and marketing support for their business. Such financial assistance would give us the opportunity to create more jobs and continue to support our local economy and community.

You can read more about the Shine A Light program by going to their website: http://shinealight.ivillage.com/
