“We’re extremely proud of all of our customers and employees who partnered with us to help Easter Seals support families living with autism in their local communities,” said David Abelman, Chief Merchandising and Marketing Officer for A.C. Moore. Customers who visit any A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts store during the March 27th through May 7th timeframe will be able to donate $1 to Easter Seals’ Act for Autism at checkout and participate in a free “Make and Take” craft event on April 9, 2011, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. EDT. Here, customers can come into the store to decorate an Act for Autism jigsaw puzzle or go online for instructions to create one at home (PDF). A Way to Give Back With 136 stores along the Eastern Seaboard, A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts, Inc. brings families together for fun through creativity. The company offers a wide range of programs to engage adults and children in crafting, including workshops, demonstrations, Make & Takes and in-store birthday parties. Why Act for Autism with A.C. Moore and Easter Seals Today, one in 110 children are diagnosed with autism and there’s an increasing need for funding, services and support. There’s no known cause, cure or single effective treatment, but people with autism at any age can make significant progress and lead meaningful lives. Getting the right support at the earliest stage in life can help a child gain the skills he or she needs to be successful. With A.C. Moore’s efforts, customers have an opportunity to express their creativity, to give back to the community and to learn about autism -- it’s signs, symptoms and support through treatment -- and can help support families living with autism. |
