CBME China's charity program to raise support for children with autism

In line with CBME China's 15^th anniversary, CBME China gives back to the community with a charity program to create awareness, draw attention and raise support for children with autism.

CBME China team is coordinating a donation of products in cooperation with baby, child and maternity manufacturers, brand owners and distributors. All donated products will be sold during CBME China from 22-24 July 2015. Proceeds from the sale will be used to support children with autism.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction, verbal and non-verbal communication, and restricted and repetitive behavior. According to Chinese Autism Rehabilitation Education Industry Development Report, currently, around 35 million children worldwide have been diagnosed with autism. In China, more than 10 million have been reported to be autistic, of which 2 million are children.

"CBME China is committed to caring to the next-generation, especially the children with special needs. We hope that with this initiative we can create awareness amongst parents on how to detect and deal with this issue. Also, we hope that more companies will share the burden to carry out their social responsibility. We highly encourage everyone in the industry to do their part for the future generation," says Athena Gong, General Manager of CBME.
