WHY DO I RUN FOR AUTISM?

Haley! She was diagnosed at a young age and it has been a long road. She has come so far from where she was then but it was only because of early intervention. Not all families are able to provide that because it is costly and extensive.
We don't know what the future holds for her and what resources will be available to her when the time comes. Raising awareness and funds now can make all the difference for her to possibly have an independent future.

1 in 54 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.
