Athletes Against Autism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Athletes Against Autism is a nonprofit organization founded by NHL players Olaf Kolzig, Byron Dafoe, and Scott Mellanby. It is led by athletes personally touched by autism who are raising awareness and funds for research, treatment, and education. Affiliated with Cure Autism Now, Athletes Against Autism leverages the status and influence of athletes in a number of sports to convince people that autism needs to be "cured".
