Autism is the fastest growing serious developmental disability in the U.S., affecting every 1 in 110 American children. For the third year, Lindt has partnered with Autism Speaks, the global leader in autism advocacy, to help provide hope to millions of families impacted by autism. Lindt will donate to Autism Speaks 10¢ with each purchase of a Lindt Gold Bunny, $1 with every Lindt eCard sent, and $1 with every new Lindt Facebook fan.*
To further support our partnership, Lindt will once again recognize and honor "Unsung Heroes of Autism" - ordinary individuals whose extraordinary efforts have made a difference for the autism cause. Three "Heroes" will receive $5,000 towards their efforts and initiatives.
Throughout the month of April, National Autism Awareness Month, you can bid for a chance to own a porcelain Lindt Gold Bunny autographed by your favorite celebrity. 100% of auction proceeds will be donated to Autism Speaks.
*Lindt will donate to Autism Speaks 10¢ for every Lindt Gold Bunny purchased, $1 for every Lindt eCard sent, and $1 for every new Lindt Facebook fan from January 21st - April 24th, 2011, up to $110,000.
