Thanks to the generosity of dozens of authors and companies, we have assembled 20 amazing raffle baskets and items to raise funds for SEEDs for Autism at the Arizona Author Book Festival. Admission to the festival is free. The first 500 attendees will receive a stamp card to exchange for a free raffle ticket; and the first 1,500 children in attendance receive a free book.

Raffle tickets will be available for purchase throughout the event; 100 percent of ticket sales proceeds will benefit SEEDs programs in Phoenix for young adults on the spectrum.

Items are themed (i.e. sports lovers, beach reads, family fun, deep thinkers) and include literary-themed merchandise, gift cards, signed books and more. There are baskets for fans of romance, fantasy, historical fiction, self-improvement, memoir and more. Contributors include the Arizona Cardinals, Medieval Times – Scottsdale, Out of Print, Half Price Bookstore, Novel Teas, Harley Davidson, Peepers, Papercutz, Candlewick Press and many more. Click here to see a list of all our generous sponsors and supporters.

Winners will be drawn the day of the festival at 2:30 p.m. You don’t need to be present to win; we’ll text you and you can return to pick up your prize.

Join us in Phoenix on April 27 for lots of bookish fun, as we celebrate Autism Awareness Month and raise money for life-changing programs.
