Formerly known as "Dylan's Run", the event was created to build awareness about Autism in the Milwaukee area and to generate dollars for Autism research and outreach programs. When the event began in 2001, the rate of Autism was 1 out of 500 children. We wanted to highlight the disability and allow families and individuals affected by Autism to have an opportunity to come together and show their support for each other. That first year resulted in 354 participants and has grown in media support, financial support and participant support to become largest single-day gathering to support Autism in Wisconsin.

NOW - With your help we will continue that growth into the A-Team Fun Walk/Run for Autism! We need to continue what we’ve started. The incidence of Autism is now 1 in 54 per the Centers for Disease Control, 2020. As a result, the number of families needing support is growing.

Most participants of this event have been fundraising to help our neighbors, our schools, our public safety officers and our entire community through our programs and services.
