The Organization for Autism Research (OAR) is an official charity partner with the Bank of America Chicago Marathon and is seeking friendly, outgoing, enthusiastic volunteers for support at the Abbott Health and Fitness Expo during the Chicago Marathon race weekend. The Expo hosts vendors featuring the latest in running footwear and apparel, nutrition, and technology. Additionally, the Expo is the home of packet pick-up for all marathon participants.
Volunteers will assist the OAR staff for a 3 hour (or longer if desired) shift by distributing materials and information about OAR and the RUN FOR AUTISM program, recruiting new runners for future RUN events, maintaining a clean Expo space, and packing up all materials from the Expo space at the end of the day. Volunteers will receive a free RUN FOR AUTISM t-shirt. Community service letters can be provided for school credit.

OAR's mission is to put appied research to work providing answers to questions that parents, families, individuals with autism, teachers and caregivers confront every day.

OAR's work addresses those issues that individuals with autism, their families, caregivers, and teachers encounter each day. Wherever possible, OAR makes its information and resources available to parents and educators at no cost. But we need the help of both generous donors and caring volunteers to cintinue this mission. From event hosting and planning, to spreading the word about OAR to the autism community, a broad range of opportunities exist for those who wish to help in this important work.
