Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism. Each of them, have unique strengths, challenges and potential. Autism Speaks will be there for them.  In honor of Jett Serek, a 2nd grader whom we dearly miss, the entire District 220 is coming together to make a difference. 

It’s only through the dedicated support of people like us that Autism Speaks can continue their vital mission work. Each year, the Autism Speaks Autism Response Team makes direct contact with tens of thousands of individuals looking for advice or guidance and more than one million people access their free nationwide autism services and resources. They continue to partner and support research to improve the lives of people with autism by investing in science that will allow more personalized treatments and therapies. You can find out even more about where your fundraising dollars go at autismspeaks.org/our-work.

When you join our team, you become part of an amazing community of the most passionate and committed individuals, families, friends and professionals — all dedicated to helping people with autism reach their full potential. The incredible support of people like YOU over the years has made it possible for Autism Speaks to meet so many milestones — advancing life-enhancing breakthroughs in autism care, providing more free, personalized support, increasing childhood screening and intervention resources and working to create a more accepting, understanding and inclusive world for our broad and diverse community. But with more than 70 million people affected by autism today, there is still much more to be done. Please join the team — set your fundraising goal — and start making a difference today!

You can sponsor every 9 mins your child walks coinciding with our Steps for Jett walk-a-thon, or make a one time donation AND share with others by creating a page. Donations/Sponsorship is optional and not required to participate in walk-a-thon.

Together as a community, we have the power to enhance the lives of people with autism and make a meaningful difference.  And together we will honor our own, Jett Serek...

Thanks so much for your support!
