Walter Gretzky and the Hamilton Bulldogs have joined up with the Canadian National Autism Foundation to further Autism Awareness. 

One way in which this is being accomplished is by Mr. Gretzky and representatives from the Hamilton Bulldogs attending school assemblies and awarding students who assist others with Autism at their school with Certificates of Appreciation and tickets to Bulldogs games.

Here are a few pictures of the last few visits.
