Continuing a Legacy of Autism Advocacy Through Community Partnerships

MARLBOROUGH, MA / ACCESS Newswire / September 5, 2025 / APEX Entertainment^®, New England's Largest Indoor Family Entertainment Center, has once again teamed up with the New England Center for Children (NECC) in Southborough to support children with autism. This football season, every time New England rookie kicker Andy Borregales makes a field goal, APEX will donate $100 to NECC to help fund programs that serve children with autism and their families.

The campaign continues a long-running partnership between APEX and NECC - dating back to the 2018 season - and has since contributed more than $25,000 through this initiative to help fund NECC's programs.

"Partnerships like this are at the heart of who we are," said George Aronstein, Chief Operating Officer of APEX Entertainment. "We've seen firsthand the incredible impact NECC has in our community, and tying this program to Andy's success on the field makes it fun and meaningful for fans. Every field goal is another chance to give back."

In addition to the field goal program, APEX also hosts Sensory Friendly Sundays at its Marlborough location. Once a month, lights and music are lowered so families impacted by autism can comfortably enjoy the attractions - from bowling to go-karts to arcade games.

"NECC relies on strong community partners like APEX Entertainment to make our mission possible," said Jared Bouzan, Chief Development Officer at NECC. "We're grateful not only for the funds raised, but for the awareness these campaigns bring to autism. APEX has been a true champion for our students and families."

Fans can follow Borregales's season knowing each successful kick supports a good cause. APEX encourages the community to celebrate every field goal as both a victory for New England's football team and a win for children with autism.
