Huntington, WV (HNN) — A concert benefiting the West Virginia Autism Training Center at Marshall University will be held at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 11, 2006 at Holderby’s Landing at Harris Riverfront Park.
 
Cindy LeGrand, early intervention coordinator with the autism training center, said proceeds will help provide state-of-the-art services to West Virginia children with autism and their families. Ten years ago, she said, the rate of autism was one in 2,500. Today it is one in every 166 children. LeGrand said the Enoch Agency, an entertainment agency, has donated its time and talents to put on the concert, which features three bands, all of which are playing for free. The bands are the Love Coats, The Michael P. Smith Band and Greg O’Brien and the Spoodoo Cadillacs.
 
Admission is $7.50. Students with a valid Marshall University ID card will be admitted for $5. More information is available by calling (304) 696-7140 or (304) 696-2332.
