"We really appreciate you taking the time to consider joining us during Spring Training in Arizona! As many of you know, it's a fun time and there's a lot to do. This year we are hoping that you join us for an extremely special event; an event that will impact the lives of families who have children affected by autism.



Your participation in this event will further TACA's mission to bridge the gap between kids like Carlton Kemp (Matt's 16-year old brother) who lacks the ability to socially interact with other children to the achievements of Little "Stewie" (Dave's namesake) who was diagnosed at age 2 and is now a mainstream second-grader who enjoys multiplication and going through books quicker than they can be provided!

Autism is a devastating neurological and biological disorder typically affecting more than 1.5 million people in the U.S. alone! It is the fastest growing disorder in our country and yet receives little government funding. So we ask that you join the two of us and our other celebrity friends and athletes from around the country as we Ante Up For Autism on March 6, 2010!

There are many organizations that raise funds in the name of autism, but TACA is the only national organization focused solely on family support, education and empowerment for families affected by autism. These families need help, TACA exists to provide it and we're hoping you will join with us to help them."
