Team Amit Rocks
the Autism Walk
The Walk for Autism was this past Sunday, May 2, at Atlantic Station. The Amit Program, JF&CS, MJCCA and Greater Atlanta Jewish Federation brought together the Jewish community to walk together as one. Team Amit had 18 teams participating, with over 150 walkers, and raised an impressive $68,283.25. This made us the largest fundraising corporate team in Atlanta.
Honorary Chairperson, Bernie Marcus, when addressing the crowd of over 20,000 participants, said “"if swine flu at 1 in 10s of 1,000s is a pandemic, what's that make autism?”
Congratulations to all of the Team Amit teams for all their fundraising efforts!
Amit's Live Auction
