What is Cruisin for a Cause?
 |
Cruisin for a Cause is Ontario ARC's only major annual fundraiser and all proceeds from this year's event support The Autism Center at Ontario ARC. Cruisin' for a Cause -- now in its 19th year -- has become one of the largest and most exciting events in Ontario County, NY. Your gift of time or money through sponsorship is greatly appreciated by families of people with autism spectrum disorders. The event brings together families, frends and community-minded people for a night of good food and fine wines at Steamboat Landing. Businesses and organizations that choose to support the event receive recognition through signage, an online directory and appreciation advertisements run in the Finger Lakes Times, Daily Messenger and ARC Life, the agency's newsletter. Cruisin' for a Cause is on Thursday, August 18 at 5:30 p.m. under the tent at Steamboat Landing. |
