Dave & Buster's in Irvine raised more than $50,000 for families touched by autism at a two-day charity event.

Dave & Buster's inaugural Charity Dinner & Golf Classic last week raised money for Talk About Curing Autism, or TACA, a national organization that provides education, support and resources to more than 31,000 families effected by autism.

The charity dinner at Dave & Buster's on Sunday featured a raffle, unlimited video game play, food and a live and silent auction.
