The Au-Some Crawler Fundraiser

Hi everyone! Hope this finds you doing Au-Some! I've got an exciting event to invite you to without even having to leave the comfort of your own home!!
As many of you know the Au-Some Crawler has become a non-profit organization for the special needs community.
We are now in the position to host events for the families that have been touched by special needs.
As a mother of a special needs child , I know just how expensive it is with therapy, medical bills, medicines, specific food taste.... Etc
This is why here at The Au-some Crawler we try to keep our events that we host cost friendly or if possible at no cost at all to the families touched by special needs. Even if that just means reduced prices and a free lunch.
We have many events coming up including our big event- our annual "A Day To Play."
We would like to host more events and continue to bring smiles and memories to these families.
The Au-some Crawlers have decided to host an online auction every year before the majority of our events come up including "A Day To Play." This is to help raise money for the events so we don't have to make go fund me accounts. Of course all donations toward our events are still greatly appreciated. There will still be shirt orders prior to "A Day To Play " to help give the kiddos and adults on a spectrum free shirts and an opportunity for the parents and supporters to be able to have one as well.
Now on to this event! :)
What we have decided to do is hold an online auction on an actual auction site with items for you to bid on and have a chance of winning really Au-some things while helping raise funds for the Au-Some Crawlers non profit organization.
We have a lot of things that have been donated to us that are from A-Z!
We have something for everyone! From Jeep, Truck, Auto parts ..gift certificates to restaurants and massages and tattoos....lots of hand crafted arts! Just know there is something in there for anyone and everyone.
This auction will run for approximately two weeks. The highest bidder at the end of the auctions will win the item they have chosen to bid on. Please understand that by choosing to bid on an item that you are in a form of contract to pay for said item should you win.
We do have a lot of heavy and bulky items that are going to be for pickup only unless winner decides to pay for shipping. Some of the bigger companies from all over the U.S.A will drop ship to winner.Some big companies have high dollar gift certificates for you to go shopping online with them. The smaller items that can be shipped will have a shipping cost calculated upon the winner's zip code. We also have quite a few local businesses that the auction certificate or item or service will be local only. If you win a gift certificate or a service at a local business it has no cash value and will be for exactly what the gift certificate states that it is.
We are inviting everyone from the West Coast to the East Coast to join in on this online auction. Please share with everyone that you want and invite as many people as you want to this auction. There are plenty of items to bid on!
At the end of the auction I will contact the winner to set up payment arrangements and shipping arrangements if necessary.
All money raised will go into The Au-Some Crawler non-profit organization business account set up at Pinnacle Bank and be used toward The Au-Some Crawler events and maintenance on the The Au-Some Crawlers, should they need it.
This is a nationwide auction with the understanding that some items and gift certificates are local only. Please read all descriptions on items prior to bidding and if you have any questions before you bid you can always contact me, Jamie Dingle, or The Au-Some Crawler's board members.
If you choose to bid on an item and somebody outbids you, you will receive an email telling you have been outbid and have the choice to go back in and place a higher bid.
As I stated before there is something in there for everyone. We are super excited about the items that we have up for bid and you will not be disappointed.
Much love from your Au-Some Crawler family! Now let's share and invite! Let's do this!

Autism and Special Needs Awareness

Hi, Au-Some Crawler family! Hope this finds you and yours doing Au-Some! There are a lot of new people that have joined us here. Thank you for being a part of this Au-Some Crawler family! Here is a little info of who we are. Please feel free to share! Don't miss our events coming up! Xoxo

I started the build on my Jeep in 2014 with big dreams and intentions. With no where to start but with a couple of Autism Awareness decals and a few Au-some names to put inside a puzzle piece decal and then on The Au-Some Crawler they went. I began my quest and my journey. Little by little I started going to Jeep events and making friends. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that here and there I was amongst parents of Autistic and Special needs children like myself. I would ask them if I could put their child's name on my Autism Jeep. They all would say yes with tears in their eyes. I always posted pics to my Facebook. Before I knew it I was reaching out to parents around the world. I was visiting schools, attending Autism events, helping raise Awareness anywhere I could, talking to newly diagnosed parents about their children and helping them find resources. Names started pouring in from around the world. Thus beginning what we know now as The Au-some Crawler.
-Jamie Dingle, President & Founder of The Au-Some Crawler. (Proud mom of Aiden aka Hummingbird. 11 year old son with Autism.)

We started a Facebook page and we are still getting names to this day. We have now become a Non Profit Organization. After experiencing the joy that this brings to these kiddos and their parents and the Autism Awareness we have achieved thus far, we here at The Au-Some Crawler will continue until all the pieces fit! We now have over 500 names of special needs children and adults from all over the world.
We are now in a position to have events for famlies with special needs. We are very thankful for all the donations we receive from individuals wanting to help so that we can keep our events as low cost as possible. We understand how much goes into having children and adults with special needs financially.

We have now started the build of the Au-Some Crawler 2.0 to continue adding names and raising Awareness. We also have an Angel section for those that are now Angels in Heaven.
A new list will be starting soon and every new name gets a photo on the Au-Some Crawler page.

DONATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED BUT ARE APPRECIATED. Message the Au-Some Crawler to find out how you can help.
We have decals, some shirts still available, hand painted shoes, etc. Just give us a shout!
