CARLSBAD, Calif. – April is National Autism Awareness Month, and PUMA Golf has partnered with ambassador Ernie Els in support of the Els for Autism Foundation. During the month of April, with any purchase of the brand’s celebrated IGNITE PWRADAPT CAGED shoes, PUMA Golf will donate a portion of the sales directly to the Els for Autism Foundation, an organization that helps deliver and facilitate programs designed to serve individuals with autism spectrum disorder.

In addition, starting today through April 30, every pair of CAGED shoes sold will also include a blue Els for Autism shoe bag and puzzle piece ribbon lapel pin. Both the color blue and the puzzle pieces represent Autism Awareness.
