Hello again friends! I am once again fundraising for the Organization for Autism Research. This organization does action and research in bridging gaps between people with autism (adult and child) and a world that marginalizes their capabilities. As a special education teacher, my passion for giving my students the best education transcends the classroom. I aspire to embody the person I want them to be, caring for others and helping people in need in your own special way. I love representing this organization as I know they help my students now and the near future.
Please help me support by making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will go directly to Organization for Autism Research's great cause!
WHY RUN FOR AUTISM? 1 in 31 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 by the RUN FOR AUTISM team:
$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.
