All of the funds raised will remain right here in the Community Autism Resources service region to provide FREE SERVICES to children & adults with ASD and their families!

We are also challenging all schools to create a team this year. The school that raises the most money will win. For more information, click me.

NO PETS PLEASE
Although we love pets, we respectfully ask you to PLEASE leave your dogs home this year. This is for the safety of your dogs as well as all those attending the walk and family fun day. Many people with Autism are afraid of dogs, and this day is for families to have a wonderful time. Thank you for understanding!!
