Firefly Autism

As my first year leading Firefly Autism, I couldn’t be more thankful for the amazing turnout at Laugh Yourself Blue. It was beautiful and heartening to see our plans come to fruition as we watched the sea of generous donors raise their paddles in support of our mission.

DENVER (PRWEB)
May 03, 2022

Firefly Autism held its 11th annual Laugh Yourself Blue fundraising gala in April, raising $1.6 million benefiting individuals with autism, their families, and the community. The Laugh Yourself Blue tradition was created in 2012, leveraging laughter’s equalizing power to raise awareness for autism and provide an unparalleled fundraising platform for the nonprofit Firefly Autism.

This year’s event was filled with laughter, heartwarming moments, top food and wine, prolific comedians, and notable philanthropists, combining tocreate a singular philanthropic experience. The incredible talent that made everyone laugh themselves blue included Josh Blue and Cristela Alonzo, both performing full comedy sets.

The 2022 gala beat Firefly Autism’s personal record by raising the most funds since the event’s inception. Committed philanthropists and entrepreneurs, Max and Elaine Appel, matched donations up to $800,000, helping Firefly Autism raise half of the funds earned that night.

“As my first year leading Firefly Autism, I couldn’t be more thankful for the amazing turnout at Laugh Yourself Blue. It was beautiful and heartening to see our plans come to fruition as we watched the sea of generous donors raise their paddles in support of our mission,” states Dr. Amanda Kelly, PhD, BCBA-D, CEO and Executive Director of Firefly Autism. “The funds are crucial in helping us continue to provide life-enhancing services and support, and to continue to innovate in this space.”

Laugh Yourself Blue was sponsored by Cuvée, Big Green, and The Solich Fund. Philanthropist and co-founder of Big Green, Kimbal Musk was also honored with the 2022 Firefly Luminescence Community Impact Award, alongside his wife Christiana, for their ongoing commitment to the community.

Firefly Autism is proud to thank Larry and Mary Kay Mueller, event co-chairs and Founders of Cuvée, who were personally responsible for raising over $290,000 for the nonprofit and instrumental in securing involvement from Kimbal Musk and Big Green. As this year’s title sponsor, Cuvée generously donated $100,000, which covers the annual cost of Firefly Autism’s School-Age program plus supplemental services necessary to maximize learning and success. Cuvée also donated two highly curated and immersive private villa travel experiences to the live auction which raised $48,000, including 3-Nights at Cuvée’s West Wing Penthouse and 5-nights at Cuvée’s Seaside La Casita.

“In this fast-paced world, Ben’s message of hope, determination and practicing self-care aims to create a better, healthier workforce in every aspect.” – Express Employment International CEO Bill Stoller

Before hanging out with Prince Harry, achieving notoriety as a No. 1 New York Times best-selling author or shooting hoops at the White House, Nemtin struggled with overwhelming depression. To overcome this, he committed to a series of positive life changes and had a shift in perspective that changed his outlook on life.

Key highlights of the broadcast will include:

• 
  Steps to accomplish seemingly impossible goals
• Practices that increase well-being during times of stress, anxiety and burnout
• Knowledge that all aspects of your life impact your work performance

Leonard Perlmutter, Founder and Director of The American Meditation Institute

“Just as you can certainly transform water into ice when needed, you can also transform the negative energy of worry and anger into more beneficial, life-affirming forms.” – Leonard Perlmutter (Ram Lev)

AVERILL PARK, N.Y. (PRWEB)
April 26, 2022

To reduce burnout symptoms experienced from financial worries, inflation, the ongoing COVID pandemic, political incivility, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Leonard Perlmutter, Yoga Scientist and Founder of the American Meditation Institute, will teach a special six-session Foundation Course for optimizing the wisdom of the Conscience May 3 – June 6, 2022 Tuesday evenings 6:30 to 8:30pm ET on Zoom. This one-of-a-kind, time-tested program, which will offer easy-to-use tools to transform negative and poisonous emotional energy into beneficial, life-affirming assets, is open to the general public, and has been certified by the American Medical Association to provide attending medical physicians 18 CME (Continuing Medical Education) credit hours.

According to Leonard Perlmutter, “Our modern American culture now faces a golden opportunity to go beyond its impoverished rigidity, superstition, blind customs and dogma to attain the spiritual and philosophical wealth necessary to solve all of life’s challenges. Today, a new reliance on our Conscience as our guide can make it possible for each of us to access and integrate intuitive wisdom, and to establish greater personal security, creativity and peace of mind. As we experiment with the profound gifts of the Conscience to determine our thoughts, words and deeds, we are destined to become both prophets and beneficiaries of our own Super Conscious Wisdom.”

The Foundation Course begins with an understanding of the Four Functions of the Mind, as described in Perlmutter’s new book YOUR CONSCIENCE. Taught continuously since 1996, this unique and time-tested curriculum teaches individuals how to relieve stress and burnout, strengthen the body’s immune system, and experience increased security, self-confidence, optimism and peace of mind, while establishing a rewarding work-life balance. Perlmutter’s Foundation Course syllabus incorporates the following Mind/Body Medicine components: a systematic AMI Meditation procedure, meditation-in-action, easy-gentle exercises, the use of breath as medicine, an understanding of Ayurvedic medicine, and the practical power of prayer. Each weekly session combines the best of ancient Eastern wisdom with the practicality of modern Western medical science.

Mr. Perlmutter’s books, [YOUR CONSCIENCE], as well as The Heart and Science of Yoga® have been endorsed by medical pioneers Dean Ornish MD, Bernie Siegel MD and Larry Dossey MD. Leonard has taught workshops on the benefits of the Conscience, mantra meditation and Yoga Science at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Kaiser Permanente, numerous medical schools, “The New York Times” forum on Yoga, and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point Association of Graduates.

In 2008, AMI conducted a retrospective case study of participants who previously completed and practiced the material taught in Leonard Perlmutter’s Foundation Course. The study found that students experienced the following positive, reproducible, long-term health-promoting changes: lowered blood pressure, lowered heart rate, reduced cholesterol levels, decreased chest pain, diminished or extinguished acute and chronic pain, weight loss, increased breathing capacity, increased exercise capacity, improved quality and quantity of sleep, improved energy levels, increased creative capacity, diminishment of migraine headaches, significant reductions in stress and fear, elimination of irritable bowel syndrome, a general sense of happiness and optimism in all facets of life for every participant.

According to recent course graduate, Donald Starzinski MD,”As a Neurologist with a keen interest in Integrative Health and Wellness, I would strongly recommend the “Foundation Course ” to both physicians and non-physicians. It was life-changing for me, both in my personal and professional life.”

“Mental health is so important, and my brother and I want these kids to feel like they can express their feelings and talk with other children in similar situations, so they know they are not alone.” – Aaron Jones

GREEN BAY, Wis. (PRWEB)
April 20, 2022

Green Bay Packers Running Back Aaron Jones, Saskatchewan Roughriders Linebacker Alvin Jones Jr. and their A&A All The Way Foundation are excited to announce they’ve partnered with the Wisconsin National Guard to support a free camp for over 100 children and their family members who serve.

In honor of April being the Month of the Military Child, the camp will be held on April 23, 2022 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Please note, this event is not open to the public.

The camp will feature activities encouraging community, friendship, emotional support, and resilience. The camp also will include photo opportunities and a Q&A session with the Jones brothers about their experience growing up in a military family. Their parents served in the military for 56 combined years.

“I was in second grade when my mom and dad were deployed to Iraq. I can relate to many of the struggles and hardships these kids are going through,” said Alvin Jones Jr.

Aaron Jones added, “Mental health is so important, and my brother and I want these kids to feel like they can express their feelings and talk with other children in similar situations, so they know they are not alone.”

The A&A All The Way Foundation’s “Freedom Is” program, sponsored by Old National Bank, also will be continuing in April. The program features stories of military families from Wisconsin and El Paso, Texas. Each month, the foundation will release a video on its social media channels and website to recognize the sacrifices children in military families make, and what freedom means to them.

The “Freedom Is” program began in June of 2021 with the first video of the series featuring the Kramer family from West Bend, Wisconsin. In 2021, the foundation shared five military family stories and gifted each family a joy-filled experience, such as a private movie screening for their family and friends.
