The Let it Shine Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders since 1998.

Individuals with autism vary widely in abilities, intelligence and behaviors. Although most of them require some form of assistance or supervision throughout their lives, some interventions have made it possible for others to develop  the skills they need to live independent lives, including the opportunity to  work.

The foundation supported this initiative by hosting its very first CHARITY RUN called: RACE AND SHINE held last NOVEMBER 21, 2009 (Sat) @ the FORT, Taguig

THE ADVOCACY

Endorsed by the Autism Society of the Philippines,  Let it Shine
Foundation is one of the few groups setting up research for the creation and sustainability of VOCATIONAL PROGRAMS for individuals with autism to provide them the equal opportunity to work and earn. 

A research team has been created to evaluate which jobs are best suitable for individuals with autism. This research will hopefully lead to the creation of a variety of therapy programs that will develop the skills necessary for them to work independently.  Information from this research will be shared to schools and centers that cater to individuals with Autism.

Funds raised from the race shall also be used to establish awareness campaigns and support the creation of programs for small and medium sized businesses to employ individuals with Autism. This will include providing training programs for any business owner and assistance to determine how their businesses can create these work opportunities.
