We’re excited to announce plans for the inaugural Autism Puzzle Shootout program, which made its debut in Central Ohio this Friday, January 14th at Dublin Coffman High School. The Shamrocks hosted Upper Arlington in what was be the first of a series of at least 8 high school games over the next 4 weeks. The concept is to provide high school students with information about the autism epidemic and create a forum where they can show support for awareness and fundraising efforts in Central Ohio. Students will compete with other area schools in a fundraising effort. Many students will wear “1 in 110” themed tshirts, to represent the current diagnosis rate of autism in America, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The winning school will receive free food for all students from NBC partner Raising Cane’s.
