Over the month of April, there will be a series of concerts called "Blues for Autism" to raise funds for the Autism Society.  Here's how they describe the purpose of the virtual events:

Blues for Autism - is in it's 4th year. The previous years have been truly amazing, exceeding all expectations. For those of you participating for the first time, our purpose is to not only to raise money for the Autism Society of America, but to raise awareness about Autism. Each year we learn so much and hope to share any and all information with as many people in SL that we can.
