Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, Patrick Stewart, Carrie Fisher, Betty White, Tom Hanks, Ed Asner, Will Ferrell, Morgan Freeman, and Derek Jeter have signed on to help with the “Sound Off for Autism Speaks®” fundraising campaign. These celebs have all agreed to to record personalized voicemail messages for fans, with all the proceeds going to the Autism Speaks® foundation.

The Details:
 
– Celebrity messages will be available only December 3-9, 2012 (of course you can use the message forever);
 
– Register online at SoundOffForAutismSpeaks.com to receive a reminder about its December 3 launch;
 
– Each celebrity will only do a limited number of messages, and the celebs are available on a first come, first served basis;
 
– Specify what you want your chosen celebrity to say;
 
– The recorded message will be sent via digital file within a few weeks by Autism Speaks®.
 
“I got together with my son Matt (Autism Speaks’ Executive Director for Southern California) and we talked about what my friends and I could do to support the important work of Autism Speaks,” stated Ed Asner. “We decided that bringing together a group of celebrities with great voices and doing a kind of ‘voiceathon’ would be a really fun idea that could help individuals with autism and their families.”
