Hundreds of people filled the Rivers Memorial Hall on the campus of Western New England College for an autism fundraiser.

Stepping Up And Stepping Out For Autism is sponsored by several area restaurants. Besides food, it features live music, a raffle and a silent auction. Event organizers said they expect to raise $10,000. Proceeds from the event go to Community Resources which provides support, information, and practical help for individuals with autism spectrum disorders and their families living in Western Mass.
