The National Autistic Society (NAS) is launching the first national Sudoku fundraising
campaign, the NAS Sudokuthon which will run from 9-13 October 2006. The charity 
is encouraging companies to take part and has already secured teams from Vodafone,
Canary Wharf Group and law firm Charles Russell.
Companies will be competing against
each other on the online leader board, in a bid to be crowned the NAS Sudokuthon
champion.

The campaign aims to raise £500,000 for children and their families living with 
autism in the UK.

It will also attempt to set a Sudoku record – inviting thousands of school children
to take part and employees to help complete thousands of grids for thousands of 
kids who have autism in the UK today. The charity aims to complete over 500,000 
Sudoku grids during the fundraising week.
