This year, we're getting creative and giving you several exciting options to determine how you want to come together as a community (in person or in spirit!), and celebrate how your commitment to raising vital funds for people with autism is making a real difference today and every day.
On Sunday, August 16, 2020, we will host the Autism Speaks CT Walk on Wheels an organized and interactive parking lot festival driven by kindness. Inspired by the drive-in graduations that have brought joy to so many during these times of social distancing, we are offering this option to convene our community, while safely spread apart, as we celebrate together.
We are looking for volunteers to help with all things Walk Day, registration, passing out incentives, concierge service to our top fundraisers, and setting up and taking down signage and other walk day necessities. Volunteer assignments to be arranged at a date closer to the Walk.
