Autism Awareness has a special place in our heart and because of that, Darren joined the Autism Speaks New Jersey Board in 2019. We recently moved back to Syracuse and because there wasn't one already, we helped co-found the 1st Annual Autism Speaks Walk in Syracuse NY. Our goal for the walk overall is to raise over $50,000 for this great cause and community! We have set a personal team goal to finish as the #1 fundraising team for this walk and I believe we’ll need to raise $10,000 as a team to do it. Our strength as a community is powered by love and built on the commitment of supporters like you!

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!
