That’s why you need to come out to the 5th Annual Topping Brothers Invitational, which is being held to raise money for autism funding and research. It’s happening on Nov. 10 at TPC Valencia, 26550 Heritage View Lane, Valencia, and it will feature a rousing round of golf, as well as breakfast and prizes.

Money from the event will go to Autism Speaks, the nation’s largest autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for autism. To register, go to this site and you can also donate securely through PayPal. For more information, visit autismspeaksscv.com.

2010 was a tough year for the Topping family. That was the year that Liam Topping, then 3, was diagnosed with autism. But it didn’t take long for the Topping Brothers (Liam, Miles, and Harry III aka Trey) to circle their wagons and get into action fighting this increasingly prevalent condition which impacts 1 of every 88 children making it an epidemic.
