1. I am Christine Roffi, a stay-at-home mom of a child recovering from his
initial Autism Spectrum diagnosis. Because I love wine and I hate autism I
have created an online wine shop and wine club with the purpose to raise
money for the non-profit organizations that help our community - Wines for
Autism Inc. (www.winesforautism.com).
I have two hearts – One in my chest to keep me alive and one in my brain to
tell you how much I love you. Those were the words my son told me last
night as I was tucking him to bed.
Five years ago he was diagnosed by five different sources with a PDD-NOS
disorder following his last Flu shot.
As we are getting into the Holiday spirit I am grateful more than words can
ever convey about my son’s tremendous progress and I want to pay back my
community for having my son back.
The purpose of Wines for Autism is to raise money for autism non-profit
organizations that share my belief that autism can be treated successfully
through biomedical interventions. I am working with these organizations to
see that the money raised is used to help families that cannot afford such
interventions.
One third of the gross profits from all sales placed through
www.winesforautism.com will benefit our non-profit partners. This month
until the end of January 2010, we are pleased to raise money for the National
Autism Association.
Wines for Autism could not have been created without the Geerlings and
Wade Team’s support. Several members of the Geerlings and Wade Team
are personally affected by autism and know all too well the difficulties and
challenges.
Wines for Autism made its debut last week at the National Autism
Conference in Fort Lauderdale during the Meet & Greet event where we
featured our 2005 Uva Negra Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve now available for
purchase at www.winesforautism.com.

2. I strongly encourage the Passport Wine Club memberships (3, 6, 12 months)
to help you navigate through our large wine selection. Also, they make
wonderful gifts for your relatives, loved ones or as corporate gifts.
So please, if you are going to drink wine, drink with the purpose of helping
those families affected by autism and not able to afford proper biomedical
interventions.
With much hope and dedication to our cause.
Cheers!
