I didn’t want to cook for myself tonight, but I read somewhere that the place I started ordering from is a sponsor of Autism Speaks.
Before placing the order, I tried to go on the AS website to check it out but I kept getting distracted by the stream of donation alerts that popped up at the bottom of the page.
It took me an additional five or so minutes to review their partnerships because it was so overstimulating.
Money.
Bob Wright who founded the organization with his wife was/is a lawyer, lobbyist and businessman, at the time they founded the organization he was chairman and executive of NBC. So he had the money and knew the right people.
