Orioles Host Autism Awareness Night On April 29
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- In recognition of National Autism Awareness Month, the Orioles, OriolesREACH, and Major League Baseball are partnering with Autism Speaks to host Autism Awareness Night on Friday, April 29, when the Orioles host the Chicago White Sox at 7:05 p.m. ET.
Discounted Upper Reserve tickets are available for purchase at www.orioles.com/autism, and $5 for every ticket sold through the site will benefit Autism Speaks, the world's leading autism science and advocacy organization dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism; increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders; and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families.
Following the pregame ceremonies, Ronnie Vasco, a three-year-old boy from Sykesville, Md. and his family, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
The following resources will also be available for Autism Awareness Night at Oriole Park:
- Quiet Room: Families looking to get some reprieve for a few innings can visit Suite 74. Families can still watch the game from this area, but in a quieter, climate-controlled suite.
- Information Booth: Fans can stop by the Orioles Community Booth inside of Gate D to learn more about autism, Autism Speaks, and resources available in the Baltimore community.
