Greater Cleveland Chili Cook-Off Spices Up Progressive Field for Autism

Fourth Annual Event Set for April 2

The Autism Society of Greater Cleveland (ASGC) will be holding its fourth annual Greater Cleveland Chili Cook-Off for Autism on Thursday, April 2 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Progressive Field's Terrace Club.

More than 20 professional chili chefs from some of Northeast Ohio's restaurants will satisfy the taste buds of party-goers who will be voting on their favorite recipe. The event will include silent auction and raffle items, with autographed items from Cleveland's sports teams. There will be gift packages and certificates from many of the area's finest restaurants and hotels, as well as passes to Kings Island, Cedar Point, Great Wolf Lodge, Walt Disney World and even an opportunity to win airline tickets from Continental Airlines and AirTran Airways.

Last year's event was attended by nearly 600 people and ASGC expects at least as many this year. There will be a cash bar and live music from Ace Molar.

All proceeds from the event will be used exclusively to serve those families and individuals in Northeast Ohio that live with autism.

Admission is $20 per person. Tickets can be purchased on line at http://www.asgc.org/, by mailing a check to ASGC, P.O. Box 41066 Brecksville, Ohio 44141, or with cash at the event.

Autism is the fastest growing epidemic in America. The Center for Disease Control state one out of every 150 children will be born with some form of autism. This is up significantly from just over a decade ago when the prevalence rate was only one in 10,000. The Autism Society of Greater Cleveland (ASGC) is a chapter of the Autism Society of America (ASA) and provides information, coordinates services, and removes obstacles to those who live with autism.

Through monthly meetings, newsletters, special events, guest speakers, and fundraisers, ASGC functions as a catalyst for change by providing parents and caregivers with the support and very latest information, so that their insight and talents are able to be used to the fullest potential.
