Members of Hangout One Happy Place walked for autism awareness this past Saturday on Grand Avenue.
The walk was held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Baldwin Harbor Town Park. The day was all about the Hangout regulars, who not only walked, but also sold raffle tickets and crafts they’ve made. Event organizers said the walk’s main purpose was to give the teenagers and young adults with autism a chance to be the center of attention.
Hangout One Happy Place is a nonprofit organization, headquartered in Baldwin, that serves as a safe space for children, teens, and young adults with autism to socialize and take part in activities such as arts and crafts, games, karaoke singing, and dancing.
