Lynchburg-HillcatsWith 1 in 110 children in the United States diagnosed with some form of Autism, the Hillcats are lending a hand to offer awareness and support to this cause in 2014. The 6th Annual Autism Awareness Night presented by Physicians Treatment Center is scheduled for Saturday, April 19th and will raise money for Commonwealth Autism Services.

GA tickets are $10 and two dollars of each ticket sold for April 19th’s game will be donated to this organization.
