Please support my fundraiser by making a contribution and sharing this page with your family and friends. I will be doing a 5K run virtually (on my treadmill!) during July 18-26. Every dollar I raise will advance Organization for Autism Research's great cause! 


WHY RUN FOR AUTISM?
1 in 54 people in the U.S. is on the autism spectrum. By joining the RUN FOR AUTISM team, you’re supporting OAR’s mission to fund research and resources that help people with autism reach their goals.


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.
$40,000 fully underwrites an applied research pilot study.
