Matty’s Cause & Poac’s Walk for a Difference 2008
Although it was a partly cloudy & windy day on April 13, 2008 at the First Energy Park in Lakewood, you couldn’t tell by the looks on everyone’s faces at the Parents of Autistic Children, “Walk for a Difference 2008.” Everyone was there to simply support one another and have a good time while bringing awareness to this important issue. Whether they were the parents of an autistic child, a friend, a family member, or just a supporter, they turned out in record numbers. These great numbers of people that came out to support this worthy cause was astounding. The looks of excitement and joy on all of the children’s faces were priceless to put it mildly.
Parents of Autistic Children, also known as POAC, was sponsoring this event with free food, entertainment, an autism resource fair, and many other wonderful and welcome surprises. The total amount raised at this fundraiser was an enormous $153,238. Team “Matty’s Cause” was able to raise $315.00, which will go towards support of families, teachers of children and adults with autism, and the autistic community as a whole throughout the great state of New Jersey. All that participated on this magnificent day were proud to be walking for a great cause, “Matty’s Cause.”

AN
EVENING FOR AUTISM AWARENESS
with
Gabriella’s at the Beach Restaurant
The entire Board of Trustees turned out for this one! And “Matty’s Cause” had a fantastic evening of fundraising at Gabriella’s at the Beach Restaurant on November 17, 2006. We had a great deal of excellent food, a few drinks, and a lot of fun and wonderful conversation. Thanks to everyone who showed up.
It was a small affair, but thanks to the “Matty’s Cause” Board and Kim Pascarella, the owner of Gabriella’s at the Beach Restaurant, the evening was a success. We were able to raise another $300.00 this evening and had a lot of fun doing it.
There already is talk of another fundraiser being held at Gabriella’s at the Beach Restaurant in the spring. We hope you all can make it out for the next one and make it even more of success.
Thanks again to everyone who attended this fun event!

The Jersey Shore Walk For Autism Wrap-Up
“Matty’s Cause” would like to thank everyone who
supported the inaugural New Jersey Shore Walk for autism
research on September 30, 2006 in Manasquan, NJ.
With more than 2,000 walkers, this event was a huge
success. All of
the hard working teams contributed a total of $220,000 to
Autism Speaks and this wonderful cause!!!
“Matty’s Cause” was in the top 15 percentile of
fundraising teams, with nearly 120 teams total!
“Matty’s Team” goal was to raise $2,000.
This goal was surpassed with a total of $2,251 being
raised by “Matty’s Team” for autism research.
This is quite an accomplishment and something we are
all very proud of. We’re
very impressed and pleased by everyone’s hard work.
You can be sure that due to this great success, there
will undoubtedly be more of these fantastic fundraisers to
follow. We hope
to see you there again. And
as always, thank you for your support.

Thank
you for supporting “Matty’s Cause!”
Matty’s Cause & Macy’s “Shop
for a Cause” Wrap-Up
“Matty’s Cause” would like to extend its Thanks! to all who participated in the selling and
purchasing of the Macy’s “Shop for a Cause”
event, held nationwide on Saturday, September 16,2006.
If our local Macy’s department store was any sign how
of well this event was received nationwide (we did sell
tickets to residents of both New Jersey and New York), we
believe it was a great success.
Not just for “Matty’s Cause,” but for many
charities nationwide.
“Matty’s Cause” sold a total of 50 tickets,
raising $250.00 for this wonderful and important cause.
Since our first event with Macy’s “Shop for a
Cause” was a success, we’ll be doing this event
annually now. So
we’ll see you next year.
Thanks,
“Matty’s
Cause”
A
huge ‘Thank You’ to everyone who came out to the First
Annual Matty’s Cause Hoboken Bar Night last

tremendous success – we raised over $1000! We

special thanks to the staff at Mulligan’s, especially Paul,
Jimmy and Tom for all the hard work, and for being so
accommodating.

-
An autism fundraiser dinner,
-
An autism bar/club night,
-
A night of bands playing for autism,

“Matty’s
Cause” is always open to suggestion and new

Keep in mind that Matty
needs “Matty’s
Friends” to help with the organization,
promotion, and running of all of these fundraisers, as well as
all the others to come. The
greatest gift one can give, is of their self and time.
We’re looking forward to seeing you soon.
