This year, we're getting creative and giving you several exciting ways to come together (in person or in spirit!), and celebrate your commitment to raising vital funds for people with autism, which makes a real difference today and every day.
Autism Speaks Walk events will be tailored to fit local needs in each community, but our goal remains the same: to come together to raise funds for people with autism and their families. Any way that works for you is the right way to participate — whether that's on wheels, on foot or online!
Event dates vary by location. Find the date of your local event by searching below!
