HOBOKEN The Association for Science in Autism Treatment (ASAT) is teaming with Hoboken-based community action agency Hopes for the fourth Annual Rockn 4 Autism Awareness benefit concert on Saturday, May 3.
The event will feature a welcome from Mayor Dawn Zimmer and a performance by the hometown band Fuzzy Lemons. Cindy Vero from 103.5 FMs KTU radio station will host the festivities.
Children can look forward to face painting, games and fun-filled activities. More than 100 businesses supported the cause last year and raised over $20,000.
The Centers for Disease Control estimates that one in 88 children has autism and there are currently one million people living with autism in the United States. The charity concert will have resource tables staffed by parents and professionals to provide information and take-away materials.
The indoor/outdoor event will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. at Hopes Auditorium, 301 Garden St.
Tickets are available here.
