Restaurants, food trucks, catering companies and home cooks enter to win and showcase their meatball prowess. A fun, family-friendly event raising autism awareness and funds for Champion Autism Network. The event is held with the Halloween Rod Run Car Show.

One of the ways we are able to continue our mission is through hosting the Best of the Beach Balls Meatball Challenge to bring awareness and raise funding for our programs. Sponsor and competitor participation will provide our 1400+ local and tourist families with the opportunity to participate in “traditional family experiences” modified for those with autism, including monthly sensory friendly movies, Autism-friendly Family Day at Myrtle Beach State Park and our monthly Sensory Friendly Birthday Bowling Bashes as well as help us to continue our mission to spread autism awareness throughout the region.

There will also be a Family Fun Area with activities for children.

Please join us for our most fun fundraiser of the year!
