MAUMEE, Ohio — It was a record day for Acoustics for Autism in downtown Maumee last Sunday!
The music festival raised $165,000, with every dollar going to Project iAm, which provides support, resources, information and financial help for families affected by autism.
This was the 15th year for Acoustics for Autism. In that time, it's become the biggest free music festival in the country.
"Phoenix, the first band, started right at noon. By the time their first song was done, it was packed in there and I've never seen that at noon," Project iAm director of fundraising, Scott Hayes, said. "It was packed."
Organizers estimate about 20,000 people came to Maumee last week to rock out to 86 bands on eight stages.
The money raised comes from sponsors, donations, silent auctions and alcohol sales.
