Mother’s Day Weekend Autism Awareness 5k -10K Run/Walk

Celebrating Togetherness this Mother's Day Weekend 

Join us for a fun and challenging 5K - 10K Run/Walk at Hansen Dam, or wherever you are, to show your support for children and adults on the autism spectrum. Your fundraising efforts will empower our work to promote a more inclusive world for individuals with autism, in support of Assistant programs for people & children with developmental disabilities (including but not limited to Autism, Behavior disorders and Down Syndrome). 

While the last year was really challenging for all of us, our commitment to the autism community remained unwavering. 1 in 54 children and 1 in 45 adults in the U.S. are on the autism spectrum. The autism community has so many unique sets of strengths, challenges, goals, accomplishments and needs.
