The Schaumburg Boomers, presented by Wintrust Community Banks, are hosting an Autism Awareness Game at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 6, against the Gateway Grizzlies.

Several features will make this event special for all fans in attendance, particularly those with autistic spectrum disorder.

The Boomers will be wearing special Autism Awareness jerseys that will be auctioned later to benefit Autism Speaks.

The KidZone play area will have a Sensory Obstacle Course set up by We Rock the Spectrum Gym of Palatine and Chicago Autism & Behavior Specialists (CABS) of Itasca.

The stadium's PA system volume will be lowered for this game, as loud volumes can be disruptive to those with autism.

Tickets for the Autism Awareness Night are available online at BoomersBaseball.com.
