On Sunday, Aug. 9, New York Families for Autistic Children held its fourth annual Wash for Autism and Car Show at the Queens County Savings Bank parking lot in Howard Beach.
The event was sponsored by several local businesses, including Queens Pediatric Care, Ira Biderman DDS, La Villa Pizzeria, Queens County Savings Bank, Mollys Balloons, the Queens Chronicle and The Forum South, and proved a big success.
Organizers and participants included Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park), left, who grabbed a sponge and pitched in for the cause and, above, Rosemary Ciulla-Frisone, president of the Ronald Reagan Republican Club of Howard Beach; right; Andrew Joseph Baumann; and Andrew Baumann, president and CEO of the NYFAC.
