For those of you who live locally, I wanted to let you know about a special night devoted to Autism Awareness by the Harrisburg Senators (for you non-Harrisburg area residents, that’s our local baseball team).
This event will take place on Saturday, July 25th at Metro Bank Park on City Island, with the gates opening at 5:30 pm and the game scheduled to begin at 7:00 pm. The team will be wearing specially designed puzzle piece baseball caps which will be auctioned off with the proceeds benefiting the Greater Harrisburg Area Chapter of the Autism Society of America.
Keystone Autism Services has joined with the ASA to support this event and will be there providing information on autism and on the various supports and services available to individuals. KAS has recently launched an amazing pilot program to provide support services to adults on the autism spectrum, called the Adult Community Autism Program. I’ll share more on this later, as it is an incredible step forward for the state of Pennsylvania and for the adults in our region who are living with autism.
In addition to promoting awareness for autism, there will also be a family picnic and wiffle ball game before the Senators play and the opportunity for the kids and siblings to run the bases after the game! Food can be brought into the park for children on special diets as well. More information and registration info is available at autismharrisburg.org.
