April is Autism Awareness Month and this year Merlo Coffee and The Sycamore School continued to join forces to promote awareness and acceptance within the community by celebrating ‘Superheroes for Sycamore School Day’ showcasing the unique talents and contributions of autistic young people. In partnership with The Sycamore School, Merlo marked the occasion by donating $1 from every coffee sold on Friday 19 April to support the school’s initiatives. Staff members from Merlo’s flagship cafes embraced the superhero theme, donning their favourite superhero costumes. Merlo has been involved with this wonderful initiative for eight years and our staff love dressing up in support of the school and donating directly to its activities. Founded in 2017 by Brisbane parents seeking a suitable education option for their autistic son, the Sycamore School has become a beacon of support for autistic students in Queensland. Today, the school caters to over 90 students from Prep through to Year 10. Merlo is proud to announce it has donated $10,000 to the school from Superheroes for Sycamore School.
