Samsung Hope for Children, the national philanthropic initiative of the technology company, and the Dan Marino Foundation launched a new social action campaign, "Team Up for Autism," in conjunction with the first annual WalkAbout for Autism. The initiative helped raise awareness and funding in support of medical research, services and treatment programs for children with autism.
Samsung pledged to contribute up to $100,000 through this social action challenge, providing a donation of $5 to the Dan Marino Foundation each time someone pledged their support of autism awareness by sharing an infographic with their Facebook friends or sending a tweet with the hashtag, #teamautism.
Even though The Dan Marino Foundation hosted its "WalkAbout for Autism" on Saturday, January 29 at Sun Life Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins, you can still get in on the action throughout February by Tweeting and donating $5 or more to The Dan Marino Foundation to help them fund autism research and support job training for people with autism.
