International Cookware Company Teams Up with Local Miami Community for a Good Cause
Miami, FL (April 15, 2015) – IMUSA, the leading maker of Ethnic cookware and appliances, is an active supporter of community involvement and philanthropic causes, autism awareness being one in particular that is embraced year after year. As such, in celebration of April being Autism Awareness Month, IMUSA is proud to continue its long-time efforts.
IMUSA has been a sponsor of the Miami-based ‘Walk Now for Autism Speaks’ fundraiser since 2009 and will again support and participate in the event on April 19th, 2015. Additionally, IMUSA will continue its partnership with local grocery chain, Sedano’s Supermarkets, in implementing the seasonal Puzzle Piece Campaign in Miami, FL. This campaign engages the local Miami community with a simple call to action: make a $1 donation per puzzle piece to help raise money and awareness for Autism Speaks. Further, IMUSA is this year continuing to offer its seasonal, limited edition Autism Speaks Puzzle Piece sauté pan. This unique pan, featuring the Autism Speaks puzzle piece, will be for sale at the Walk with 100% of the proceeds being donated to benefit autism research.

Raul Corzo, President of IMUSA USA, shared, “I’m in a position to give back to the community, to reach out and do what’s in my heart. For many years I have supported Autism Speaks personally, and I am proud that it is a cause that IMUSA and our parent company, Groupe SEB USA, passionately support as well. Through the years, I have seen children with Autism exceed expectations and do remarkable things. I have seen families pull together and become therapists, advisors, volunteers with an unconditional disposition to sharing their knowledge and experiences. It is for this reason I reach out looking for support from our local community to raise funds and join IMUSA at the Autism Speaks Walk on Sunday, April 19th. As the community joins together to raise awareness, we are ultimately providing the organization with the support and resources to continue the ever-needed research.”
Walk Now for Autism Speaks is an inspirational and impactful opportunity to raise money and awareness to help change the future for all those who struggle with autism. The walk will take place on April 19th at JC Bermudez Park/Doral Central Park, 3000 NW 87th Avenue Miami Florida. For more information or to donate please visit http://www.walknowforautismspeaks.org.
