This Giving Tuesday I am raising funds for the Organization for Autism Research.

The Organization for Autism Research strives to use science to address the social, educational, and treatment concerns of self-advocates, parents, autism professionals, educators, and caregivers.

I’ve committed to raise $3,500 to support OAR’s mission to conducting vital research and providing critical resources. I am asking for your support by donating to my campaign.

Every dollar I raise goes directly to the Organization for Autism Research to advance their great cause! 

WHY DONATE TO OAR?
1 in 36 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.

Here are some of the ways that OAR uses the funds raised:

$10 provides a Curriculum in a Box professional development set to general education teachers.
$25 provides 15 copies of A Guide to Safety to families and first responders.
$100 provides the Kit for Kids peer education resource to an entire elementary or middle school.
$150 provides 100 copies of a Life Journey through Autism guidebook sent to a community support group or military installation.
$1,000 provides a research grant for a graduate student studying autism.
$3,000 provides a scholarship for a student with autism to attend college.
$50,000 fully underwrites an applied research pilot study.
