Designer Angela Moore created the Autism Awareness Collection to help increase awareness in the treatment and understanding of autism. While April is Autism Awareness Month, Angela supports this important endeavor all year long by donating 15% of the net proceeds from this collection to the Autism Society of America and their designated affiliates. One of these affiliates in the newly opened Rimland Center in Lynchburg, Virginia. The Rimland Center is an autism-based center named after Bernard Rimland, the Founder of the Autism Society of America that provides patients, families and medical professionals a place to receive individual care and education.
Since its debut in September, the Angela Moore Autism Awareness Collection has raised over $500 in 2007 and promises to raise even more in 2008!
Set on a crisp white background, the Autism Awareness Collection features puzzle pieces and a rainbow of ribbons in happy colors. The collection includes a bracelet, necklace, earrings, pendant, petite and little girls bracelets and range in price from $25-95. The collection is hand painted and one of a kind and can be purchased online at www.angelamoore.com or by calling 800-927-5470.
The Angela Moore Autism Awareness Collection has been featured in Autism-Aspergers Digest, Baby Talk, OK! Magazine and the Palm Beach Daily News to name a few. The pieces are a beautiful and easy way to support treatments for children.
