Hey everyone! Thank you so much to everyone who donated and shared this fundraiser! For those who missed it, I hosted an Autism Awareness Walk in the Fall of 2022 & 2023. In total, we raised over $2000 (WHAT?!) towards autism research, which is absolutely MIND BLOWING. While I wasn't able to host the walk this past Fall (I'm away at school!), I am leaving this fundraiser open for donations and I encourage you to do your own research & donate!
This page & fundraiser is in honor of my brother, William (on the left), who has Autism.


WHY RUN FOR AUTISM?
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 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.
