Autism Speaks is the largest Autism science and advocacy organization, they are dedicated to funding research for the causes, prevention, treatments and a cure for Autism, as well as increasing awareness of Autism and advocating for the needs of individuals with Autism and their families. The expenses of a child diagnosed with Autism can cost a family over $60,000 a year on average; Alpha Xi Delta’s goal is to help these families overcome obstacles they never thought would be possible.

Since partnering nationally with Autism Speaks in 2009, Alpha Xi Delta has raised over $5 million and counting towards research and awareness for children on the Autism Spectrum. Our chapter has held seven Football FrenXI events, eight Quarter Miles, one Jail N’ Bail event, four Step It Up 5K’s and helped Autism Speaks University’s fundraisers on campus raising over $50,000.
