TonerForAutism.com Strives to Fund Autism Research Through Online Sales

Mon Jul 7, 2008 10:04am EDT
OAK PARK, Mich., July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Oak Park, Michigan-based Image One
owners, Joel Pearlman and Rob Dube have launched a new website,
TonerForAutism.com, dedicated to raising awareness and funding for autism.
Through the sale of toner and ink, the site has an established goal of raising
$1,000,000 by contributing five percent of each sale to organizations that
support autism-related research and issues.  Founder Rob Dube made the
announcement.
    By de-commoditizing the toner and ink market, TonerForAutism.com has
developed an inspiring charitable model that allows customers to support
education, research and build awareness of autism, a disorder that affects one
in 150 individuals. Much more than an online retail outlet, TonerForAutism.com
gives people the opportunity to use their purchasing power to make a
statement. With an easy-to-use interface, the site combines a point-and-click
functionality with a broad range of options for purchasing virtually any brand
of ink and toner such as HP, Canon and Epson. The site allows individuals to
choose which charity they wish to support through their purchase, whether it
is a national or local autism-related support organization.
    Partners for over 15 years in Image One, Pearlman and Dube have an
established history assisting companies in simplifying their printing process
by decreasing costs and increasing productivity. When TonerForAutism.com CEO
Pearlman's daughter, Danielle, was first diagnosed with autism when she was
just 20 months old, the two men were inspired to re-direct their energies
toward raising both funds and awareness in support of autism-related
organizations. TonerForAutism.com combines Pearlman and Dube's printing
industry experience with their passion for promoting a cause that inspires
them both personally and professionally.
Oak Park, Michigan-based TonerForAutism.com is a website that sells ink
and toner nationally, while contributing a percentage of every sale to
organizations that support autism-related research and issues.  Founded by
Joel Pearlman and Rob Dube, the site is dedicated to raising awareness and has
established a goal of donating at least $1,000,000 to autism-related
organizations. Much more than an online resource, that site creates an
opportunity for a refreshing new take on corporate and social responsibility,
and gives people the freedom to use their purchasing power to make a
statement. For more information, please visit TonerForAutism.com.

Plot exposes fissure in U.S. intelligence community

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Last week's failed plot to bomb a U.S. passenger jet has exposed lingering fissures within the U.S. intelligence community, which had information from interviews and clandestine intercepts but did not put the pieces together, officials said.
