Throughout June, Regions Bank is raising awareness and providing financial support for nonprofits serving people with autism, as well as their families, according to a press relase. And people across metro Atlanta are encouraged to show their support through online voting.
Locally, Spectrum Autism Support is one of the nonprofits participating in Regions’ What a Difference a Day Makes contest. Through June 30, Regions is using its web and social media channels to spotlight Spectrum and other organizations making a tremendous impact in the lives of people and families impacted by autism spectrum disorder.
Spectrum was founded in 1998 and has grown to serve more than 4,500 families with autism each year. The nonprofit’s mission is to provide support, education and resources for individuals and families impacted by autism. Spectrum also supports Latino and Korean families in the area by providing written materials in English, Spanish and Korean.
The public is invited to learn more about Spectrum and additional nonprofits through brief articles in the What a Difference a Day Makes section of Regions’ news website, regions.doingmoretoday.com. Then, through June 30, eligible voters can vote once daily for their favorite organization.
After voting concludes, the nonprofit participant with the greatest number of votes will receive a $5,000 grant from Regions. All other contestants will receive grants of $500 or $1,000 based on vote totals. Further, Regions will provide a day of volunteer service to all organizations in the contest.
