The Casey Foundation would like to extend a huge thank you to all those that supported the fundraising events in the month of April. April is International Autism Awareness Month and we feel we accomplished our goals of raising more awareness to the public and also raising the much needed finances for us to help families challenged by autism. This year we are able to offer $8600 in summer camp bursaries to families throughout Saskatchewan because of your generosity.

Thank you to all the businesses in Regina, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw that supported our "A Magically Delicious Evening" with items for our silent auction fundraiser March 31st, 2007. "A Magically Delicious Evening" combined the magic and illusion of Mr. Chester McBain with a silent auction and an awesome dessert buffet prepared by the Conexus Arts Center staff. We would also like to thank all the 300 guests that came out and supported that event and helped us raise the required funding to help with "Enriching the Lives of Children with Autism."

The 2nd fundraising event in the month of April was "An Evening with Valdy and Friends." The Casey Foundation would like to express a very special thank you to Wayne and Jeanne Tetlock for all their hard work to make this event a success. The patrons of this event were treated to the musical entertainment of "The Prairie Dogs", Grant Bastedo, Jack Semple and Valdy at a standing room only venue on Sunday April 22nd, 2007 in Regina. A the end of the evening, both Jack Semple and Valdy announced they would come back and do another benefit concert for The Casey Foundation. Watch for details of this upcoming event to be posted on our website.

For next years Autism Awareness Month in April, The Casey Foundation would like to announce that we will be hosting the RCMP Charity Ball. The RCMP Charity Ball, held at the RCMP Training Academy in Regina, has a long history as a huge fundraiser for the charity hosting the event. Watch for more details on our website as this event draws closer.

Thank you Saskatchewan for supporting the efforts of The Casey Foundation in "Enriching the Lives of Children with Autism."
