M&T Bank donates to support autism programs at Allied Services

Representatives of M&T Bank recently presented Allied Services with a major sponsorship in the amount of $2,500, supporting the 2022 Lexus Autism Golf Classic. The 29th Annual Autism Golf Classic presented by MotorWorld Lexusis scheduled for Monday, June 20 at Huntsville Golf Club in Lehman, Pa.

Proceeds from the tournament benefit pediatric patients with diagnoses on the autism spectrum who receive treatment and services at Allied Services.

In the past year, Allied Services provided therapeutic services to more than 600 children including those with challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech, and nonverbal communication, common to autism and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Allied Services is grateful for the continued support of its donors and sponsors, like the M&T Charitable Foundation, who make these services and programs possible.
