Middletown >> Team Joshua P will host a fashion show fundraiser for Autism Speaks at the Twin Pine Casino Event Center on March 13 from 7 to 9 p.m. Models will be outfitted with Old Navy’s Kids 2015 Spring/Summer Collection.
This marks the fourth year that the team has raised money in support of the Autism advocacy organization. Team Joshua P is named for Joshua Patentreger, a 10 year old who was diagnosed with Autism when he was 4.
An estimated one in 42 boys and one in 189 girls are diagnosed with Autism in the United States. The mission of Autism Speaks is to improve lives for all those under the Autism Spectrum. For some, this means the development and delivery of more effective treatments that can address significant challenges in communications and physical health. For others, it means increasing acceptance, respect and support.
Tickets to the event cost $20 each, which includes a pasta dinner, non-alcoholic beverage, fashion show, vendor viewings, raffle participation and a $5 free play card courtesy of Twin Pine Casino.
Advance tickets are available for purchase at the Big Chill Frozen Yogurt Shop, located at 18990 Coyote Valley Road, Suite 16 in Hidden Valley Lake. Tickets can also be obtained by contacting Rani Patentreger at (415) 509-1485.
