AT&T supports Autism Family Services of New Jersey

AT&T is proud to support Autism Family Services and recently presented a $5,000 contribution in Bedminster. Funds will be used to support annual “Beach Bash” held each year the Jersey shore. This event is free for families and addresses several needs in one community event. At the event, families have the opportunity to network with others living with autism and they can participate in a variety of other activities that allow children and families to enjoy their visits to New Jersey’s shores. The Beach Bash has grown from 75 attendees in 2005 to over 5,000 attendees in 2012.

“AT&T employees strive to give back to the communities where we live and work,” said Michael Hickey, an AT&T employee in New Jersey and president of the AT&T Pioneers Chapter 139, which championed this contribution. “We believe Autism Family Services of NJ does tremendous work on behalf of children with autism, and we’re proud to support the Beach Bash and their other efforts.”
