Ed Asner and his son Matthew both have sons with autism. They got together and created a wonderful holiday celebrity fundraiser called “Sound Off for Autism Speaks®” to help raise awareness for autism.
Sound Off for Autism Speaks®, is a one of a kind campaign where fans of celebrities Betty White, Tom Hanks, Ed Asner, Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman, Derek Jeter, Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, Patrick Stewart and Carrie Fisher can get a personalized voicemail message to use forever. All proceeds go to the Autism Speaks® foundation.
Celebrity messages will be available for purchase one week only, December 3 – 9, 2012. Fans can register online at SoundOffForAutismSpeaks.com to receive a reminder just prior to the December 3 campaign. A limited number of messages will be available from each celebrity on a first come, first served basis. Fans will have the unique opportunity to specify what they want their chosen celebrity to say in the message. Autism Speaks will send fans a digital file of their message within a few weeks of their order, once it has been recorded by their celebrity.
The thought of having Captain Picard or Captain James Tiberius Kirk voice a message for the BLURPPY office is completely beyond my feeble comprehension. Hurry over to the website to sign up for YOU personal message from one of your favorite stars NOW!
