Eatontown, N.J. (April 14, 2016) - Circle BMW, the region’s only independently owned and operated BMW dealership, is a premier sponsor of a fundraising event that will benefit the AutismMVP Foundation, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to helping children with autism reach their maximum potential.

Local Disc Jockey, Matt Ryan, from 94.3 The Point FM radio will appear at the event. Money raised from the event will benefit the Foundation's various initiatives, including a groundbreaking program led by Monmouth University's Department of Education that will educate or further train area public school teachers and paraprofessionals on how to better work with students who have autism.

The event was planned to coincide with the month-long National Autism Awareness Month initiative, established to promote autism awareness, autism acceptance and to draw attention to the tens of thousands facing an autism diagnosis each year. Executive Director of the AutismMVP Foundation, Keith Green, said, “We welcome all who wish to join our effort to help children on the autism spectrum reach their maximum potential and to provide our educators with the additional tools and resources they need to work with those students on the autism spectrum.”

President of Circle BMW, Tom DeFelice, said, “Autism has touched all of our lives either directly or through our friends and neighbors. Circle BMW is proud to again support the AutismMVP Foundation and their mission to assist educators and social programs that will benefit children with autism.”

The event will be held on Saturday, April 16, 2016 at the Beach Haus Brewery in Belmar, N.J. from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. There will be live entertainment from the Paul Marino Band, food from Jersey Shore BBQ and cupcakes from JB Couture Cupcakes.
