Chuck E. Cheese is set to hold a number of inclusive events as part of World Autism Month.
The famous FEC is holding sensory-friendly events, fundraisers and special film screenings as part of its ongoing commitment to inclusivity and support for the autism community.
It will host its annual Sensory Sensitive Sundays event at locations across the US and Canada on Sunday, April 27, with 20 per cent of sales on the day being donated to Autism Speaks, a non-profit organisation dedicated to creative an inclusive world for individuals with autism.
This year, the company has expanded its commitment to the community though a new partnership with Shine Global. Together, they will develop content that will be shared on screen at nearly 500 CEC venues across the country.
CEC Entertainment president and CEO, David Mikillips, said: “During World Autism Month and throughout the entire year, Chuck E. Cheese is dedicated to leading the family entertainment industry with our commitment to promote awareness among our guests and employees and through our partnership with Autism Speaks.
“This year, we are extending our advocacy work even further with Shine Global, allowing us to provide a platform and opportunity for voices like Austin’s to be heard by millions of guests visiting our fun centres.”
