LIFT 4 Autism Auction!<\/b><\/h1>\n

\"Lift<\/p>\n

Bidding is open NOW!<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n

charityauction.bid\/Lift4Autism2020<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n

Since 2015, <\/span>LIFT 4 Autism<\/span><\/a> has raised approximately $140,000 to benefit ASD families. All proceeds go to non-profit organizations serving the autism community. Now more than ever, we as a global community are uniting, even as we stay apart to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Auction organizers authors Ginger Scott and Kennedy Ryan, along with <\/span>Kulture City<\/span><\/a>, this year\u2019s charitable partner, wanted to respond to the real needs of autism families during this incredibly challenging time. <\/span>Kulture City will direct proceeds from the 2020 auction to a scholarship program for autism families struggling during COVID-19.<\/b><\/p>\n

The online auction features signed paperbacks, hardcovers, full series sets, out-of-print covers, foreign editions, personal one-on-one Skype calls with some of your favorites . . . and MORE, all donated by authors, publishers, bloggers, readers. Just people who wanted to be a part of something to help autism families. <\/span>In the past, some of our highest bidding items were tickets to sold-out author signings and in-demand book events. Of course, with social distancing, those have all been cancelled. To possibly compensate, several amazing authors, narrators and publishing professionals are auctioning off virtual chats! We\u2019re hoping many readers will be enticed to bid on virtual chats with authors like LJ Shen, Tarryn Fisher, Beverly Jenkins, and Kristen Ashley, to name a few. To chat with all-star narrators like Zachary Webber, Shane East, Erin Mallon and more. Not to mention critiques and video chats with agents and editors. These are just a few items up for bid. We are incredibly grateful for every single item donated.<\/span><\/p>\n
