Mike held a pancake breakfast in support of the Autism Society of Edmonton Area (ASEA) on Saturday, August 21, 2010.  The event was a huge success with approximately 500 people in attendance, and over $18,000 raised for ASEA. 

Mike thanked those in attendance on the cool Saturday morning.  "It is wonderful to see a significant amount of money raised for this important organization," he said, "but it is especially meaningful that people would take the time to support the many families in our community who live with autism every single day."

ASEA is a non-profit, charitable society which began in 1971.  Today, the Society helps families and communities embrace and support people on the autism spectrum throughout their lives.  For more information about ASEA please visit www.autismedmonton.org.
