As a new football season gets underway, we’re proud to continue our partnership with APEX Entertainment^® and the Borregales family. Through the Apex Cares program, Apex will donate $100 to NECC for every field goal Andy Borregales makes this season, helping support autism education and research.

For NECC, the partnership is about more than what happens on the football field. It’s an opportunity to bring awareness to the work we do and turn moments from each game into meaningful support for children with autism and their families.

“Having this program return year after year says a lot about the kind of partner APEX is to NECC,” said Jared Bouzan, Chief Development Officer at NECC. “Watching this program grow alongside Andy’s own growth as a player is incredibly rewarding. He gives us something to cheer for each game, and we’re grateful for everything APEX continues to do for our students by raising awareness for our program and supporting us in the community.”

Beyond the impact of the program itself, we’re grateful for the people who have helped make this partnership possible. George Aronstein and Andy and Steph Borregales have been wonderful friends and advocates for NECC, and we’re so thankful for the genuine support they continue to show our students, families, and staff.

We’re excited for another season together and another year of cheering Andy on. Our students and staff will be watching from NECC and rooting for every field goal,  knowing that each one helps make a difference in our community.
