Round Up @ Buona Beef to Support the BridgeTogether for Autism Foundation

A Little Spare Change Can Make a BIG Change for Children with Autism

By K.P. Lynne

When you dine at Buona, located at 9525 W. 131st Street (131st and LaGrange Road) in Orland Park, round up your change, in any amount you choose, now through November 15, to support the BridgeTogether for Autism Foundation. 

Every Buona in Chicagoland is participating in this awesome fundraiser to support the BridgeTogether for Autism Foundation...so be sure to tell all your family and friends. They can find the Buona location nearest to them at buona.com/.

Simply adding a little extra change to your order total can make a big difference for young people with Autism in our communities. 

If you like to run or walk, you can also support this amazing cause by participating in the BridgeTogether For Autism 5K. The link for the 5K is below!
