  • 7 people are interested

The Autism Speaks Walk is our largest fundraising event to support the diverse needs of the autism community. The Walk's success is made possible with help from our local volunteers. Join the Chicagoland Chapter as we begin preparing for this memorable event, which takes place on Saturday, June 1st, 2019 at Soldier Field Stadium. Help is needed to reach out to schools in the Chicagoland area to encourage their involvement. After a brief orientation call, we are asking volunteers to email local schools and provide information about how to form a school walk team, raise funds and attend the walk.

Your time and support is appreciated by so many in the autism community.
