April, World Autism Month, shines a light on the families living with Autism and the work being done all around the world to support them. The romance reading community - authors, readers, influencers, bloggers, bookstagrammers, and BookTokers- is rallying around autism through the LIFT 4 Autism Campaign. Some of you participated last year, and some may be coming on board for the first time. Either way, welcome! This is our 10-year auction anniversary so our excitement is off the charts.
We're holding an auction the last week in April to raise funds for ASD families needing financial assistance. Kulture City is our national charitable partner, and will be co-promoting the campaign.
There are two opportunities for influencers.
1. Post throughout our open auction period to help us advertise LIFT 4 Autism. We need help spreading the word about accepting donations, the catalog, and the bidding period. The catalog for auction items will open on Tuesday, April 1, 2025. Bidding on auction items will be Monday, April 21 8:00 am EST through 5:00 pm EST on Sunday, April 27, 2025.
2. Donate from your blog as part of the auction to raise funds for Kulture City. (Completely optional!)
