Gary A. Maffei, CEO at QSAC (Quality Services for the Autism Community), is challenging his staff to get fit by loosing weight and pledges $1 for every pound they loose.   And, he is hoping others will join him in making the challenge.

“In this tough economy, we need to be very creative to raise the necessary funds to continue our vital work. While deciding on my new year resolution to improve my general health, it occurred to me to put the two together and the challenge idea was born,” said Maffei. “I invite others to join me in challenging the QSAC staff and make a donation for every pound lost,” continued Maffei.

The funds will benefit the autism community of New York City and Long Island served by Mr. Maffei’s organization.

The challenge concurs with QSAC’s preparation of its annual 5K run/walk scheduled for April 17 in Astoria Park, Astoria, NY. The “biggest loser” will be announced at the 5K event after all participants have been weighed.  The winner receives a cash prize.

To join Maffei in challenging the staff or for more information on the 5k, contact Daniele Favre-Panayotatos, Director of Development, tel. 212-244-5560 x2016 or danielefp@qsac.com.

QSAC provides comprehensive services and programs to individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their families in New York City and Long Island.  Founded in 1978, QSAC today has 21 facilities in Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, and Nassau County.
