Parents and their children with autism are invited to the eighth annual Bowling for Autism in recognition of April’s Autism Awareness Month.
Sponsored by MyGoal Inc. (My Gateway to Overcoming Autism) and supported by The Children’s Hospital at Saint Peter’s University Hospital in New Brunswick, the event will be held 2-5 p.m. April 24, at Stelton Lanes in Piscataway.
Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children under 12. Create a team, raise donations and register online at www.mygoalautism.org.
“Come out to raise money and awareness in the fight against autism,” said Genevieve Kumapley of South Brunswick, an oncology pharmacist at Saint Peter’s who is the mother of an autistic son and executive director of MyGoal. “Our annual bowl-a-thon is a fun and effective way of supporting Central Jersey families of autism.”
