May Institute’s Benefit Days at Borders

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (Dec. 3-5)

When you shop online or at any Borders store in the country during these three days (Dec. 3-5), you contribute directly to May Institute programs for children and adults with autism and other special needs.

Join us for this special fundraising event just in time for the holiday shopping season!

If you’re in Massachusetts, our Benefit Days at select Borders stores across the state will include family entertainment and activities, coloring contests, give-aways, and more!
