Obviously, this thrills me beyond words. The Mets are celebrating Autism Awareness Day at Citifield next Saturday, May 8, as they do every year. We have never gone, due to the logistics in getting to a game, but this year I made it a birthday request (my big day is May 7. No, don't ask my age). There is no way our boy could accompany us, as the noise and crowds would be extremely overwhelming to him. Maybe someday...
The Mets have been extremely generous to the Autism community over the past few years, in terms of giving various schools and organizations free tickets, which those organizations could then sell, and keep the proceeds. Our school, Eden II Programs, has benefited, and also makes it a point to send a contigent of 100+ staffers, students and parents. We chose to purchase our own tickets as we are picky about our seats (yeah, I know, we're snobs) instead of sitting with the school, but we were able to chose to pay a higher group ticket price with a portion going back to the school.
So we will be there sporting our matching MickeyMets jerseys (what, too geeky??) and our autism ribbon pins. Follow the link above to order your own tix. Come on, you know you want to.
See you there!!
