Event Description

One in 54 children nationwide will be diagnosed with autism this year. In Bexar County alone, 30,000 children are living with autism. More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with AIDS, diabetes, and cancer combined. That means that you or someone you know has a close connection to a child or individual who lives with autism and whose daily lives are challenged by this diagnosis.

Many of these families are left feeling isolated, alone, and do not know where to turn for support. Often times the challenges faced by autism rips families apart. Even the strongest of family bonds can be torn.

The Walk for Autism is our largest fundraising event and brings together participants and community partners from San Antonio, Bexar County, and South Texas. The overall goal is to provide services and support for families raising individuals with autism.  All the proceeds stay local to fund the many programs provided for families raising individuals with autism at Any Baby Can of San Antonio.
