Autism Awareness Month encourages everyone to accept and value the diversity of individuals impacted by autism.Bubbles have significance in the early childhood to adult years of those affected by autism. They are used in activities for skill development and the figurative expression of feelings of isolation.
Through understanding bubbles and their many forms for an autistic individual, it is hoped that Blow Bubbles for Autism will help the community understand and accept those impacted by autism.
Employees of Tropicana will be engaging in some clean fun this Friday, April 15, at 10am when they join FACES Autism Support Network, a United Way Agency to help set a Guinness World Record of the most people blowing bubbles simultaneously (multiple venues) and to raise awareness for Autism. The event takes place in the Royal Swan Ballroom/4th Floor, North Tower.
