Powered by volunteers and families with loved ones on the autism spectrum, this effort by Autism Speaks Southern California generates vital funds for autism research and raises awareness about the increasing prevalence of autism, the fastest-growing serious developmental disorder in the US, and the need for increased research funding to combat this complex disorder.
The success of Walk Now for Autism Speaks is greatly dependent on the dedication and support of volunteers. In order to reduce costs and dedicate more funds to autism research, Walk Now for Autism will rely on volunteers to assist in many capacities - checking in participants, providing encouragement at water stops and cleaning up after the event.
