Arcade for Autism - Adult

Arcade for Autism will be a fun and interactive event in support of Autism Family Services of New Jersey, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for people and families affected by autism. This fundraiser will be held on June 4, 2022 at YESTERcades, 80 Broad St., Red Bank, NJ, from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. This venue offers retro and modern video games in a colorful space with a nostalgic vibe. Andrew Visconti, the organizer of Arcade for Autism, is a rising senior at the Marine Academy of Science and Technology (MAST). As a Chief Petty Officer in MAST’s elite NJROTC Unit, Andrew participates in many community service efforts. Although this one is especially meaningful to him because he has two siblings on the autism spectrum. Andrew recently served as MAST's Technology Student Association (TSA) Team Leader for the Video Game Design Challenge, where his team was awarded 2nd place statewide at the TCNJ TSA High School Conference. This achievement inspired him to use gaming to support a charitable cause, and he chose Autism Family Services of NJ as a way of giving back for all the help they’ve provided for his family and others. Special thanks to MAST, Bailey's Printing, and YESTERcades for all their support!
