According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 110 children in America is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), making ASD more prevalent than juvenile diabetes, pediatric cancer and childhood AIDS combined. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors. They include autistic disorder, Rett Syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) and Asperger’s Syndrome. ASD can be associated with intellectual disability, difficulties in motor coordination and attention and physical health issues such as sleep and gastrointestinal disturbances.

Latin Recording Artist Manny D Steps “IN THE LIGHT”

with Soon to be Released Collaboration with Grammy Nominated Producer

MANNY D

2911 Global Entertainment, LLC announces the upcoming album release of “En La Luz” (“In the Light”) by their new recording artist Manny D. Mexico-born Manny D' Alesandro came from humble upbringings to become a household name in Corpus Christi, Texas and he is now considered THE ONE to listen to across the nation. However, this Latin artist is not feeling the pressure, instead he’s currently in a Los Angeles studio writing and recording for his first national album, “En la Luz” (“In the Light”), an English and Spanish album expected to have music lovers feeling the vibe …in the light.

Listeners will think Justin Timberlake, Taio Cruz and Usher all rolled into one. The music of “En la Luz” will stay true to Manny D’s Latin influence, but will couple the hot sounds and luscious beats of big city nightclubs with deeply meaningful words which will undoubtedly enlighten the listeners and pull them to the dance floor.

For Manny D, this album will undress his soul, pay homage to the fruits of his labor and honor his long journey. “I knew as a kid that I had an ability to understand music,” says Manny D. “I would sing and write songs, and by the age of 16, I was directing adult choirs in full set programs at my fathers church. I feel completely blessed to be given an opportunity to share my music with the world.”

Manny D is on a spiritual mission, with his faith in God and the music community being his navigator. “When I had an album release party for "Amame,” says the artist. “The event sold out. It was because of this success that my manager Xavier Garza, decided to bring me to Los Angeles for several meetings with large-scale producers. What transpired in those six short days was truly a sign from above as my new career began.”

Within a month, Manny D began collaborating with Latin Grammy nominated and multiple BMI award winner, songwriter/producer Toby Sandoval. Sandoval is a classically trained composer, arranger, who works with Latin and American artists, in both English and Spanish language, and has achieved jaw-dropping success penning hits such as Los Primos de Durango’s “Fuego En Tu Piel” along with his smash “Quien es Usted,” by Mexican banda star Sergio Vega. Both of these hits rank among the genre's top songs of 2009-2010 on both the Billboard and Monitor Latino Hot Latin charts.

“There was an immediate connection as we shared the same goal - to make an impact in the industry with a new twist to the America pop market,” says Manny D.

Toby Sandoval agrees. “I’ve worked with many artists, but Manny D has a certain fire. He’s ready for the success this new album will be sure to bring. I am proud to be a part of his journey and this collaboration,” says the Sandoval.

Manny D’s album “En la Luz” will be completed in the fall of 2011.

"In addition, I have two brothers who are military heroes (U.S. Marine and U.S Navy). I also served alongside NATO soldiers in Kosovo as a broadcast news correspondent, not to mention being a regular 'ole citizen. It is my honor - my duty to help give back to these heroes who are in need of assistance."

According to ACT Today!, the national nonprofit organization hosting the event, one out of every 88 military children has a diagnosis on the autism spectrum. It is well established that with early and effective treatments, children with autism can make significant gains and greatly improve their overall quality of life.

ACT Today! for Military Families is committed to providing funding and support for military families impacted by autism. Your donation will help military children achieve their full potential.

"Military families shoulder tremendous responsibilities today due to multiple and lengthy deployments," says ACT Today's! Executive Director Nancy Alspaugh-Jackson. "Military families impacted by autism face even more extraordinary circumstances, and access to effective autism services is limited. With the nation's support, we can make a difference in the life of a military child today and provide hope for a better tomorrow."

The event, produced by D. Plump Consulting's Founder and Chief Executive Consultant, Daphne Plump, raised the much needed funds for ACT Today! (Autism Care and Treatment Today!). ACT Today! is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to provide access to resources and treatment for children with autism.

500 guests attended the star studded event, including George Clinton (Singer / "Father of Funk"), Actor David Boreanaz ("Bones"), Actor Max Ryan ("Sex and the City:2"), Adrienne Maloof ("Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" & Philanthropist), Saleisha Stowers (Winner, "America's Top Model"), Greg Grunberg (Actor, "Heroes"), Actor Scott Grimes, Tom Bergeron (Host, "Dancing With the Stars"), Chris Hayes (3x Super Bowl Champion), Don "The Dragon" Wilson (World-Renowned Mixed Martial Artist), Brandi Glanville (Singer/Actress), Actress Marla Maples, World-Renowned Autism expert Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh, The Bronx Boys (Award-Winning International Hip Hop Dance Group), Won G (International Hip Hop Artist & Philanthropist), Actress Marissa Jaret Winokur, corporate and community leaders, parents of children with autism, and other supporters.

Sovage Premium Denim and Urban Behavior Co-Sponsor Fundraiser for Autism

2010-09-12T10:02:00.000-07:00

Won-G, Founder of Sovage Premium Denim, has announced both companies will co-sponsor ACT Today’s! 5th Annual Denim and Diamonds for Autism event, benefiting children with autism.

Hidden Hills, CA October 23, 2010 Won-G Founder/ CEO of Sovage Premium Denim and Arif Noor Founder/ CEO of Urban Behavior announce they are proud to be the Denim Sponsors of ACT Today’s! (Autism Care and Treatment Today!) 5th Annual Denim & Diamonds for Autism fundraiser. The event will be held on Saturday, October 23, 2010 at 5839 Jed Smith Road in Hidden Hills, California. The first rate fundraiser provides grants for therapy, biomedical treatments, social skills groups, protective helmets and more for children with autism whose families can not afford the necessary tools for their child to live a productive life or reach their highest potential. Every year, community partners and business leaders generate more than $80,000 in funds to support children with autism. The red carpet event will be held from 5pm – 11pm. The event is produced by D. Plump Consulting.

“Together, we can help raise awareness to fight this horrible disorder,” says Won-G, Founder of Sovage Premium Denim and ACT Today!’s International Ambassador. “Children should not have to suffer with autism.

The “denim and diamonds” charity event is expected to draw 300-400 supporters including community leaders, celebrities and world-renowned autism expert/researcher Dr. Doreen Granpeesheh. “When I began my career, the incidence rate of autism was 1 in 10,000. Today, it’s 1 in 100 children,” says Dr. Granpeesheh. “This is clearly an epidemic. Many children would benefit from treatment, but they have zero access because of lack of funding. This is not acceptable. Autism is treatable.”

She has trained thousands of professionals and families on her treatment techniques and curriculum, leading to a faster dissemination of quality treatment information.

She is often sought to speak at the most prestigious autism and behavior analysis conferences, including Autism One, Association for Behavior Analysis, Defeat Autism Now, and the Autism Society of America. Through her active participation and direction in research, curriculum development and treatment, Dr. Granpeesheh has consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of Applied Behavior Analysis intervention. She has not only helped tens of thousands of families, but has successfully helped many children and young adults attain their highest potential, giving further merit to the notion that autism is treatable and that affected individuals can lead independent, meaningful lives.
