WORCESTER, Mass. - April 26, 2017 - PRLog -- April is National Autism Awareness Month, and BCI is supporting the 5K Run & Walk for Autism Acceptance, which benefits HMEA's Autism Resource Central of West Boylston, MA, by participating in and sponsoring the event.

BCI's 5K team of seven staff has been fundraising and gearing up to walk/run in this event. BCI staff will also host a "Kids Corner" of activities and entertainment for all children, which will include spin art Frisbees, face painting, a photo booth with a "make your own" frame, kinetic sand tables, and more.
