From here, you can copy your fundraising page's URL to share, or click any of the smaller social media and email icons under your team's name for quick sharing.

Is there a fundraising minimum to participate?
While there is no minimum fundraising amount to participate, we hope you will consider asking your friends, family, and colleagues to contribute. The Hero Walk for Autism is an opportunity to raise autism awareness, acceptance, community support, and funds for the ASGHR.
Are donations tax-deductible?
Yes, as long as they’re donations made directly to your fundraising page, via checks made out to the “Autism Society Greater Hudson Region," or through Facebook. Donors will receive a tax acknowledgment letter from the ASGHR via email from RunSignUp, through the mail for a check, or from Facebook directly for a Facebook donation. There are printable donation receipts available upon request.
Can matching gifts be applied to my fundraising total?
Yes, we will apply matching gifts to your fundraising total as soon as we have the official paperwork, and it is approved by your company. Please let us know ahead of time that you have applied and when it is approved.
How can I apply cash or checks to my total?
Please do not mail cash! For cash donations taken offline, please turn your cash into a check to send to us. Upon receipt of your check donation, the ASGHR will process and add them to your fundraising page. You can bring donations to the office and the event as well, but please turn cash into a check or credit card donation if possible.
