ach April, the junior boards of the Autism Society of Alabama and Mitchell’s Place collaborate on a fundraising event filled with music and food to celebrate National Autism Awareness Month. The 11th annual Funky Fish Fry was held April 10 at Avondale Brewing Company. Funds raised will benefit both organizations’ missions to raise awareness of autism spectrum disorders and raise funds to provide essential services to the 1 in 54 individuals in Alabama affected by the disorders. The family-friendly event featured music by The Drennen Brothers, Automatic Slim Blues Band and Livewire, along with catfish prepared by Ezell’s. Guests who wished to avoid the in-person festivities were able to pick up meals via a drive-thru. ❖
