Event Description
Join us for our 2nd Annual Run for Autism Event - A community awareness & acceptance event to support Arizona Autism United, an organization providing services to local families living with autism and other developmental disabilities since 2006.
With an alarming rate of 1 in 44 children in the U.S. with a diagnosis of autism, your support is critical!
Register to run, walk or enjoy the side games and activities that we will have available for attendees. You can also create a team and invite your family members and friends. This is also a great team building opportunity for your company staff while supporting Arizona families living with autism. Everyone is welcome!!
100% of the proceeds will go to programs for families in need.
