On that day, participating area restaurants donate a portion of their proceeds for the benefit of area children and adults with autism.The event, which was first held in 2002, is the main fundraiser for ASNC-MCC and funds local chapter activities including over $20,000 in grants to support local teachers who serve students with autism. It is also a means of communicating with and educating the community about autism. In addition to donating proceeds, participating restaurants will display posters and table toppers with information about autism.
