The 1st annual Rock the Spectrum event will raise money for Generation Rescue and directly help families affected by autism in Taney County, MO.<\/p>\n
Friends from across the county will be coming out to dance, sing-a-long, eat and enjoy a fun night with DJ Imperial and Pearl Nation in support of helping children with autism, a disorder that currently affects 1 in 88 children.<\/p>\n
Generation Rescue, Jenny McCarthy’s organization, mentors families, provides medical assistance to financially underserved children and generates national awareness for autism. Since inception, Generation Rescue has been the frontrunner in providing hope, pathways to recovery and information on how to treat autism and improve an autistic child’s quality of life.<\/p>\n
As you may know, the numbers of children being diagnosed with autism are on the rise, now affecting 1 in 88 in the U.S. The rate is even higher in Missouri, where an estimated 1 in 72 children has autism, with the prevalence in boys at 1 in 46 and the prevalence in girls at 1 in 169.<\/p>\n
This special concert will benefit Generation Rescue, which is dedicated to recovery for children with autism spectrum disorders by providing guidance and support for medical treatment to families in need.<\/p>\n
“Rock the Spectrum” was created this year by Brent &; Cristal Hedrick in honor of their god- daughter who has autism. As a participant in Generation Rescue’s grant program, their god-daughter has seen great improvement from the medical treatment and assistance the grant provided. If you cannot attend, but would like to make a donation to support Generation Rescue we appreciate your support.<\/p>\n
