HARRISON, N.J. (April 15, 2015) - The New York Red Bulls will host Autism Awareness Night at Red Bull Arena this Friday, April 17, when the Red Bulls take on the San Jose Earthquakes at 7 p.m. As part of the event, the Red Bulls will welcome children and adults with Autism and their families to Red Bull Arena, and donate a portion of ticket sales to local and global Autism awareness organizations.

"We're extremely excited about hosting these families at Red Bull Arena," said Red Bulls general manager Marc de Grandpre. "We will do our best to create an environment where they are comfortable and can enjoy the game. Our goal is to make Red Bull Arena welcoming to all members of our community, to raise awareness about Autism and support these great foundations."

The Red Bulls have partnered with Autism Speaks, Bergen-County based Valley Program for Children with Autism, and Autism New Jersey for the event. A promo code is available for fans to use when purchasing tickets in order to donate a portion of their sale to those Autism foundations.

Red Bull Arena will also feature a "quiet zone" inside the stadium to offer a place for individuals with Autism and their families to go during the game. The Red Bulls have also created a "Guide to the Game," a visual story to help prepare children and adults with Autism for a night out at RBA by walking them through the experience ahead of time.

Tickets for the match are available by visiting this page and using the special promo code autism2015.
