Please participate in ASC's 3rd Annual Autism 5K Family Fun Run/Walk
HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?
You can help by either running or walking in the 5K and collecting sponsors, or by simply making a donation!
WHY SHOULD YOU PARTICIPATE?
BECAUSE AUTISM IS TREATABLE!
Please help us change the way autism is being handled globally. We have an opportunity to impact thousands of lives through treatment, education, awareness, and family supports. Won't you consider making a difference in the life of a child with autism today?
The vast majority of children with autism have an opportunity to become indistinguishable from their peers if diagnosed, appropriately and intensively treated prior to ages 3-5.
Autism diagnosis rates were 1 in 10,000 twenty years ago. They have now skyrocketed to 1 in 67, making it the fastest growing serious developmental disability in the U.S. One child every 20 minutes born the U.S. will be diagnosed with autism.
Autism has risen to epidemic proportions and requires immediate action. There are 1.77 million cases of autism in the U.S. more than pediatric aids and cancer combined. Yet it receives less than 5% of the research funding available.
What if I Can't Be There Or I Am Not Local?
Walk by Proxy! Do everything but be there and walk. We'll provide the actual walkers to represent you in your absence.
Make a direct donation! Mail a check to The Autism Solution Center, Inc. or make a donation online without walking.
Your Donation Today Could Make The Difference!
Thank you for your support!
