All day on Friday, April 1st, order any appetizer and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Autism Speaks as part of their Light It Up Blue campaign. We will also be lighting up the atrium with blue lights and donning blue for the cause.
In celebration of the fourth annual World Autism Awareness Day, Light It Up Blue seeks, "to shine a light on autism by raising awareness in communities across North America." Over the evenings of April 1 and 2, important buildings around the world will be turning their lights blue for the cause! Additionally, many individual communities, businesses, and even just families will be hosting their own events to raise awareness as well as funds for Autism Speaks.
Affecting one in every 110 children (and one in every 70 boys), autism prevalence figures continue to grow. Founded in 2005, Autism Speaks is now the United States' largest autism science and advocacy organization. Autism Speaks remains, "Dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families."
So join us in supporting this great cause by ordering Beef Skewers or Calamari, Walleye Fingers or Crab Cakes, Diablo Bites or Shrimp Cocktail, or make a dinner of it and share several Apps for Autism!
