Cheese, the Nation\u2019s No.1 family entertainment center, will celebrate Autism Awareness Month with the biggest Sensory Sensitive Sundays event of the year on April 3 at over 400 locations across the U.S. and Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nationally recognized Sensory Sensitive Sundays program, designed in partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centerforautism.com\/\">The Center for Autism and Related Disorders<\/a> in 2016, was created to further the brand\u2019s mission to provide a safe, fun, inclusive place Where Every Kid Can Be a Kid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the first Sunday of the month, participating restaurants open two hours early to create dedicated playtime for children with autism and other special sensory needs. Offering a quieter dining and entertainment environment, dimmed lighting and a sensory-friendly arcade experience, Sensory Sensitive Sundays are staffed by a caring, specially trained team to ensure a fun-filled visit by all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe take a great deal of pride and care in supporting families and children living with autism with our Sensory Sensitive Sundays,\u201d said CEC Entertainment Chief Marketing Officer Sherri Landry. \u201cChuck E.

Cheese guests can donate to Autism Speaks by rounding up their purchases to the nearest dollar or adding a $1, $3 or $5 donation at checkout. All contributions will support Autism Speaks\u2019 research, advocacy efforts, programs and services, such as increasing early childhood intervention and global understanding and acceptance of people with autism. Last April, Chuck E. Cheese raised more than $23,600.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur partnership with Chuck E. Cheese is instrumental in helping us realize our vision of a world where all people with autism can reach their full potential,\u201d said Autism Speaks President and CEO Keith Wargo. \u201cBy demonstrating care and understanding through the Sensory Sensitive Sundays program, and encouraging guests to be aware and contribute, Chuck E.
