Nationwide    November 05, 2010 –   ACT Today (Autism Care and Treatment Today!), a national non-profit organization whose mission is to provide access to resources and treatment for children with autism, announces it has raised over $100,000, net through the 5^th Annual Denim & Diamonds for Autism, held on Saturday, October 23, 2010 at a private estate in Hidden Hills, California.  The “denim and diamonds” charity event drew over 450 supporters 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 (2x 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.  “Autism is an epidemic, and we are so thankful to have so many people recognize the need…the urgency …and join us in this mission. “

Corporate sponsors of the event, include: 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).

“One in 110 children in American is diagnosed with autism. We know our efforts are helping those children whose families can not afford to get them the necessary care and treatment they need. Autism is treatable,” says Greg Anderson, ACT Today! Board member and Managing Partner of TWIW Insurance Services, LLC.

 “Together, we can help raise awareness to fight this devastating disorder,” says Won-G, Founder of Sovage Premium Denim and ACT Today!’s International Ambassador.  “Children should not have to suffer with Autism.”

“This event was truly an extravaganza,” says Daphne Plump, Event Producer. “Sovage Premium Denim and Urban Behavior opened the evening 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.”

“All American Pet Company embarked on a journey to keep dogs well and we truly believe that we found a way to help do the same for our children. We are committed to partner with the ACT Today organization to help make a difference, “says Barry Schwartz, CEO, All America Pet Company.

“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 5^th Annual Denim & Diamonds) has the ability and has chosen to help these children. To us, that's a miracle!”

Activist and Hidden Hills resident, Lisa Gutman, received the 2010 Golden Cowgirl award for her generous and tireless efforts in helping children with autism.

TV Executive Chairs Autism Care and Treatment Event in Hidden Hills

By April MacIntyre

Nancy Alspaugh-Jackson, an award-winning national television producer, author and autism activist, mother of child with autism, founder of Denim and Diamonds for Autism, will host the red carpet event, sponsored by TWIW Insurance Services, will be held from 5pm – 11pm.

ACT Today! (Autism Care and Treatment Today!), the nation’s leading nonprofit organization that provides grants and resources for children with autism, has announced it 5th Annual Denim and Diamonds premiere fundraiser will be held on Saturday, October 23, 2010 in Hidden Hills, California.

Nancy Alspaugh-Jackson, an award-winning national television producer, author and autism activist, mother of child with autism, founder of Denim and Diamonds for Autism, will host the red carpet event, sponsored by TWIW Insurance Services, will be held from 5pm – 11pm.

It is billed as an evening of love, compassion and hope for children with autism. Alspaugh-Jackson founded this premiere fundraiser that provides grants for therapy, biomedical treatments, protective helmets and more for children with autism whose families can not afford the necessary tools their child needs to reach their highest potential.

Today, it is estimated that one in every 110 children is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than childhood cancer, juvenile diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined.

An estimated 1.5 million individuals in the U.S. and tens of millions worldwide are affected by autism. Government statistics suggest the prevalence rate of autism is increasing 10-17 percent annually.

Current estimates are that in the United States alone, one out of 70 boys is diagnosed with autism.

“This event will bring together Southern Californians who are on a mission to raise as much money as possible to help children with autism get the therapy, biomedical treatments, social skills groups and even helmets,” says ACT Today! Executive Director Nancy Alspaugh-Jackson. “There are so many children in our community with autism, and even more whose families can’t afford the necessary tools for their child to reach their highest potential. We’re raising funds to ensure they do.”

The “denim and diamonds” charity event is expected to draw 500 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.”

The 5th Annual Denim and Diamonds event is hosted by Nancy Alspaugh-Jackson and TV entertainment reporter, Jerry Penacoli.

The event will include an outdoor silent auction and cocktail reception with live entertainment, followed by a seated dinner buffet program, live auction, dancing and entertainment provided by Bruce Springsteen’s former front man of the Steel Mills band, Robbin Thompson. Individual tickets are $100. Table Sponsors are $1,500.
