About the Concert for Autism

The Concert for Autism is produced by a group of musicians who have personal connections to autism as fathers, mothers, family members and friends. Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and affects a person’s ability to learn, communicate, and interact with others. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that autism now occurs in 1 out of every 31 children. The proceeds from this event are donated to the Desert Autism Foundation. This foundation is a local Coachella Valley organization that provides financial assistance to families with autistic individuals so they may afford vital therapies and activities. The foundation also supports initiatives and programs that build a more understanding and accommodating community for individuals on the spectrum to live, work, and enjoy. We have found this charity to offer valuable assistance for these families on a daily basis. Your donation to this charity is tax deductible.
