D. Plump Consulting Begins Work on ACT Today for Military Families' 5k/10k Run and Festival

D. Plump Consulting is now onboard of the ACT Today for Military Families (ATMF) 5k / 10k Run and Festival, serving as Director of Publicity and Promotions. 

http://www.acttodayformilitaryfamilies.org/

The ACT Today for Military Families 5k/10k Run and Family Festival will take place on Saturday, April 02, 2011 in San Diego, CA. The event, which is part of a national campaign, benefits military families of children with autism.

"I am honored to play a role in this event, " says Daphne Plump, Chief Executive Consultant of D. Plump Consulting. "The number of military families with children with autism is staggering."


"In addition, I have two brothers who are military heroes (U.S. Marine and U.S Navy). I also served alongside NATO soldiers in Kosovo as a broadcast news correspondent, not to mention being a regular 'ole citizen. It is my honor - my duty to help give back to these heroes who are in need of assistance."

According to ACT Today!, the national nonprofit organization hosting the event, one out of every 88 military children has a diagnosis on the autism spectrum. It is well established that with early and effective treatments, children with autism can make significant gains and greatly improve their overall quality of life. 
ACT Today! for Military Families is committed to providing funding and support for military families impacted by autism. Your donation will help military children achieve their full potential.
"Military families shoulder tremendous responsibilities today due to multiple and lengthy deployments," says ACT Today's! Executive Director Nancy Alspaugh-Jackson.  "Military families impacted by autism face even more extraordinary circumstances, and access to effective autism services is limited. With the nation's support, we can make a difference in the life of a military child today and provide hope for a better tomorrow."

The event, produced by D. Plump Consulting's Founder and Chief Executive Consultant, Daphne Plump, raised the much needed funds for ACT Today! (Autism Care and Treatment Today!). ACT Today! is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to provide access to resources and treatment for children with autism.

500 guests attended the star studded event, including George Clinton (Singer / "Father of Funk"), Actor David Boreanaz ("Bones"), Actor Max Ryan ("Sex and the City:2"), Adrienne Maloof ("Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" & Philanthropist), Saleisha Stowers (Winner, "America's Top Model"), Greg Grunberg (Actor, "Heroes"), Actor Scott Grimes, Tom Bergeron (Host, "Dancing With the Stars"), Chris Hayes (3x Super Bowl Champion), Don "The Dragon" Wilson (World-Renowned Mixed Martial Artist), Brandi Glanville (Singer/Actress), Actress Marla Maples, World-Renowned Autism expert Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, The Bronx Boys (Award-Winning International Hip Hop Dance Group), Won G (International Hip Hop Artist & Philanthropist), Actress Marissa Jaret Winokur, corporate and community leaders, parents of children with autism, and other supporters.

"This event was truly an extravaganza," says Daphne Plump.

But I think the most inspirational moment occurred when, Cupcake, a puppy rescued by All American Pet Company, found a new home with a family of three children with autism."

"A Miracle is defined as an unexpected event attributed to divine intervention. Sometimes an event is also attributed to a miracle worker. As Lisa (President of All American Pet Company) and I witnessed, everyone in attendance (at the 5th Annual Denim & Diamonds) has the ability and has chosen to help these children. To us, that's a miracle, "says Barry Schwartz, CEO, All America Pet Company.

Sovage Premium Denim and Urban Behavior Co-Sponsor Fundraiser for Autism

Won-G, Founder of Sovage Premium Denim, has announced both companies will co-sponsor ACT Today’s! 5th Annual Denim and Diamonds for Autism event, benefiting children with autism.


Hidden Hills, CA October 23, 2010    Won-G Founder/ CEO of Sovage Premium Denim and Arif Noor Founder/ CEO of Urban Behavior announce they are proud to be the Denim Sponsors of ACT Today’s! (Autism Care and Treatment Today!) 5th Annual Denim & Diamonds for Autism fundraiser. The event will be held on Saturday, October 23, 2010 at 5839 Jed Smith Road in Hidden Hills, California. The first rate fundraiser provides grants for therapy, biomedical treatments, social skills groups, protective helmets and more for children with autism whose families can not afford the necessary tools for their child to live a productive life or reach their highest potential. Every year, community partners and business leaders generate more than $80,000 in funds to support children with autism. The red carpet event will be held from 5pm – 11pm. The event is produced by D. Plump Consulting.

“Together, we can help raise awareness to fight this horrible disorder,” says Won-G, Founder of Sovage Premium Denim and ACT Today!’s International Ambassador. “Children should not have to suffer with autism. Please join ACT Today as we step into the future to create change in the lives of those children affected by autism. “ 

The “denim and diamonds” charity event is expected to draw 300-400 supporters including community leaders, celebrities and world-renowned autism expert/researcher Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh. “When I began my career, the incidence rate of autism was 1 in 10,000. Today, it’s 1 in 100 children,” says Dr. Granpeesheh. “This is clearly an epidemic. Many children would benefit from treatment, but they have zero access because of lack of funding. This is not acceptable. Autism is treatable.”
