On Monday, March 10th in NYC actress, singer-songwriter joined premium
chocolatier Lindt USA to launch the 6th Annual GOLD BUNNY Celebrity
auction to benefit the world’s leading autism science and advocacy
organization, Autism Speaks. Nikki has a very personal connection to
the cause and is committed to helping Lindt USA raise money and
awareness.

“It is an honor to join Lindt and help launch the Lindt GOLD BUNNY
Celebrity Auction. I’m excited to raise funds and awareness for
autism, and continue to support a cause that’s very close to my
heart,” said Reed. “I am a proud supporter of Autism Speaks, and I’m
dedicated to helping other families affected by autism. Lindt is
making it easy for people to get involved and give back this Easter
season.”

This year, more than 60 celebrities – from Blake Lively to Kelly
Clarkson, Eli Manning and Brad Paisley – have signed porcelain Lindt
GOLD BUNNY figures for the auction, in which 100 percent of proceeds
will benefit Autism Speaks from March 10-20. Now through Easter, Lindt
will also donate 10 cents for every Lindt GOLD BUNNY purchased. Make
sure you you fill up the kids baskets with delicious Lindt bunnies and
help make a difference in autism research.

The iconic Lindt GOLD BUNNY is the only bunny that gives back during
the Easter season, thanks to the brand’s partnership with Autism
Speaks. All of the funds raised during the 2015 Lindt Easter program
will help Autism Speaks support people with autism and their families
in a variety of ways, including toolkits for all stages of life,
insurance reform, grants for community programs, scholarships, and
housing and employment initiatives for adults, among others. Since
2009, Lindt has helped generate more than $700,000 for Autism Speaks
through its Easter program.

The autographed bunnies will be showcased on
LindtGOLDBUNNYAuction.com.
