Autism Awareness Day for Families with the Northwestern Women’s Basketball Team

Join the Northwestern women’s basketball team for the first-ever autism awareness family day. The team invites families from the autism community to come out for this family event as the team takes on Purdue. Special activities, including face-painting and caricature artists, along with a half-time performance by the Jesse White Tumblers, will offer fun for the whole family. A section will be reserved for families from the autism community, and quiet rooms will be made available.

To order tickets, please contact Ryan Chenault at 847-491-7327 or e-mail r-chenault@northwestern.edu.

First Look for Charity

The word "big" comes to mind when you think about the Chicago Auto Show. It is the nation's largest auto show. Ditto when you think about First Look for Charity, the auto show's benevolent black-tie event. It is among Chicago's biggest single-day charity events.

Your support of First Look for Charity can help Autism Speaks!
