April 2015 April is Autism Awareness Month! The month of April is very important to the Carlos Vieira Foundation and the families we support with our Race for Autism year-long campaign. With the increase in children being diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, 1 out of every 68 children currently, it has never been more vital that we continue the good work of protecting and assisting as many families as possible. Advancement Alert In this issue Autism Awareness Month Gloves Not Drugs Event w/Sugar Ray Leonard In recognition of Autism Awareness Month 51FIFTY has released their Race for Autism Cans to the public. They are also allowing civic groups, services organizations, boosters, and local children’s clubs to purchase cases at more than a 50% discount to not only spread the word but allow other community groups to fundraise for their cause. Make sure you pick up a can today! On April 19th we are hosting an Autism Family Fun Day at 51FIFTY Headquarters in Livingston, CA!

Family Fun - FREE 51FIFTY Headquarters Livingston, CA 3rd Annual Gloves Not Drugs - SUCCESS! On March 28th the Foundation in partnership with the Merced County Sheriffs Activities League welcomed celebrity guest speaker boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard to our 3rd Annual Gloves Not Drugs sponsored by 51FIFTY. The Champ opened the 20 bout boxing competition with a message to the kids to “dream big, stay in school, work hard at your craft, and avoid gangs and drugs.” Having “the Champ” onsite had the boxers really showing their stuff. It was a great day for boxing, for charity and the community. A wonderful time was had by all and because of the success, the Foundation is looking into the possibility of bringing in another motivational boxing presenter next year! You can find all the photos on our facebook page. Fireworks Fundraisers! The Carlos Vieira Foundation is excited to announce that we will have a fireworks booth in both Atwater and Livingston!
