We're ready for the 2009 Community Walk for Autism Awareness - are you???
We know just how hard these times are; our economy is in turmoil and no one has anything to spare. For families affected by autism, this is especially true when you add the soaring costs of therapies, medications, and assistance. This is why the programs, events and family activities provided by the Center are more critical than ever. We strive to provide a place of peace, support, and strength to our families and those who support them, as they face their own daily turmoils.
Unlike other organizations, every dollar you donate to the Center goes directly to creating programs and events for our families. You have our assurance that your gift is given right to those we serve.
So we want you to feel great about your donation, and if you haven't considered joining us at our walkathon, think about it! Once again, this year's event promises to be a fun day with giveaways, raffles, entertainment, prizes, food, games, and more!
