Contributing to charities feels good, but beyond the positive vibes, giving back to the community brings people together and helps make a difference on a level you’re likely to see and feel. There are plenty of ways to provide assistance — you can volunteer time at your local food bank, share your knowledge by doing some after school tutoring, or the stalwart: writing a check. But did you know that you could actually dine and dance for a righteous cause? You can.
Anova is getting a head start on Autism Awareness Month this weekend and it’s doing it with style and fervor by having a party.

The San Francisco State University creative writing graduate went on to write for publications like the San Francisco Bay Guardian and KQED Arts among others prior to joining the Marin Magazine staff. Topics Kasia has covered include travel, trends, mushroom hunting, an award-winning series on social media addiction and loads of other random things. When she’s not busy blogging or researching and writing articles, she’s either at home writing postcards and reading or going to shows. Recently, Kasia has been trying to branch out and diversify, ie: use different emojis. Her quest for the perfect chip is never-ending.
