Every dollar I raise will advance Organization for Autism Research's great cause! This organization sponsors scholarships, webinars, and shares information that encourages self-advocacy and empowerment of autistic individuals.

All proceeds from the Active for Autism Virtual 5K will go to OAR’s new Changing Lives Fund and will be used solely for direct research and programs support. In November, OAR will allocate the available funds to support one of OAR’s new research studies. Our goal is to raise $80,000, enough to fully fund two research studies.  Any funds raised over $80,000 will go to support OAR’s mission to apply research to the challenges of autism.  

WHY RUN FOR AUTISM?
1 in 44 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with autism. By joining the RUN FOR AUTISM team, you’re supporting OAR’s mission to fund research and resources that help people with autism and their families today.
