D. Plump Consulting Raises Over $100 Thousand for Non-Profit Organization

D. Plump Consulting, a firm specializing in public relations and special events is proud to announce the 5th Annual Denum & Diamonds for Autism event, held on October 23, 2010 at a private estate in Hidden Hills, California, raised over $100-thousand dollars (net) for children with autism.

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 is the most successful Denim and Diamonds for Autism fundraiser to date, " says ACT Today!'s Executive Director Nancy Alspaugh-Jackson.

Corporate sponsors of the event, included: TWIW Insurance Services, LLC (Diamond Sponsor), Sovage Premium Denim and Urban Behavior (Denim Sponsors), RT Specialty LLC (Event Sponsor), Blue Angel Vodka (Beverage Sponsor), Judy and Jay Hearst (Paddle Auction Sponsor), Reaction AV (AV Sponsor), Hope Wine (Wine Sponsor), and The Auto Gallery (Auto Sponsor).

"This event was truly an extravaganza," says Daphne Plump. "Sovage Premium Denim and Urban Behavior opened the dinner program with a fashion show featuring some of the latest looks for all ages, followed by a gravity defying performance from international hip hop dance troupe, The Bronx Boys. 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.
