The Annual Carlos Placido Dunkin’ Golf Classic has been supporting The New England Center for Children for more than 20 years, thanks to Dunkin’ franchisee Neal Faulkner, who started the event and today also serves on NECC’s Board of Directors. The Golf Classic brings together Dunkin’ franchisees and vendors from around the region. It has been a tremendous success, raising more than $2 million for NECC over the past 22 years. The funds directly support skills development for children with autism around the world, educational research dissemination, and NECC staff professional development.
