What is AwareFare?  

AwareFare is our annual major fundraiser during which participating restaurants donate a portion of their proceeds from the day of the event to The Union County Chapter of the Autism Society of NC. 

Why we do AwareFare? 
 
To raise awareness about autism and provide support for local families.  The majority of the money raised from this event provides grants to educators who impact the lives of children on the autism spectrum in Union County.  A small portion of the proceeds support our monthly educational and support meetings, communications, and advocacy.
