Team Autism NC
Hardison & Cochran, a North Carolina-based Personal Injury, Workers’ Compensation, and Disability law firm, has been in partnership with the Autism Society of North Carolina and University of North Carolina Athletics since 2014.
This collaboration aims to raise awareness about autism and inform the people of North Carolina about the invaluable resources provided by the Autism Society of North Carolina.
Each college football season, Hardison & Cochran sponsors a home game, known as the Autism Awareness Football Game. During this event, the Autism Society of NC sets up a booth in Tar Heel Town, engaging with community members and sharing information about the support and services they offer to individuals with autism and their families.
In 2022, the partnership expanded to include baseball, with Hardison & Cochran becoming the Presenting Sponsor of Carolina Baseball. Throughout a selected weekend series, the Autism Society of North Carolina sets up a booth at Boshamer Stadium, connecting with fans and spreading awareness about their mission and resources.
The Autism Society of North Carolina is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with autism, providing support to their families, and educating communities about autism. Through this partnership, Hardison & Cochran aims to amplify the Autism Society’s message and ensure that more North Carolinians are aware of the resources available to them.
Hardison & Cochran, with offices across the state, is committed to serving the people of North Carolina not only through their legal expertise but also by supporting causes that positively impact the community.
