About

Hey everyone!

I realize that no one has created a group yet for the charity categories.
Now I just want to express that this is no specified group, but I figured this is a great way to lay some foundation for the future of FLUGPO, and who knows where this may lead us!

I am hoping to help autism research in any way I can. I signed up to get a charity badge in which all donations go directly to Autism Speaks. You can see the badge on the flugpo blog http://flugpo-blog.blogspot.com/. Click on the badge there and you can help by donating too. You can also help by copying the badge (to copy badge, click on "share" tab on badge) and placing it on your site to accept donations to Autism Speaks.

AUTISM OCCURRENCE: One in every 150 children born in the US have autism. It is estimated approximately 1 million in the US have this disorder.
NOTE: This number does NOT include: PDD, Asperger's and other spectrum disorders. These statistics are endorsed by the CDC, American Academy of Pediatrics, and other federal organizations.

U.S. FACTS: -A new case of autism is diagnosed nearly every 20 minutes -There are 24,000 new cases diagnosed in the U.S. per year -The economic impact of autism is more than $90 billion and expected to more than double in the next decade. -Autism receives less than 5% of the research funding of many less prevalent childhood diseases. -There is no medical detection treatment, or cure for autism.

Hey everone, just wanted to give another heads up!

Riverart is still auctioning his awesome artworks!

Here's what he posted me(and I felt should be passed on to you and fluGIVE!):

riveraart said: There is still one painting listed on ebay right now that has proceeds going to a charity. Again if you want to check it out or let other people know about it its at http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZriveraart

Again, please make sure that you get your friends onto fluGIVE, check out Jason's Link, and start getting some ideas going for other charities to give to!

Hey everyone!

Well, our member of our flugpo community, riverart, has some art that he's putting up for auction.

They're going well, I've posted some new stuff up. The web address is http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZriveraart
Feel free to share that with anyone who loves art and/or wants to help out a charity. Thanks!

OK, well that's all for right now...but I'll be sure to post new stuff as soon as I can!
