MAC is a Fort Myers-based nonprofit that provides a community of support for autistic adults. The organization provides teachable opportunities to develop skills towards independence, fosters authentic friendships and empowers for acceptance. In April 2025, MAC partnered with Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers Beach for a day of inclusivity and education, where team members learned how to create welcoming and accommodating experiences for guests with autism and their families. Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers Beach earned its Autism Double-Checked (ADC) Certification in early 2025, reinforcing its commitment to inclusive travel, accessibility and neurodiverse-friendly hospitality.

All Margaritaville communities, properties, resorts, restaurants, destinations, hotels and cruises are conducting a brand-wide Day of Service on Jimmy Buffett Day, Aug. 29, and the following Labor Day Weekend to honor Buffett's legacy and the way he lived his life in the support of others and community by supporting organizations around the world.
