THE 2020 WALK FOR HOPE IS GOING VIRTUAL!
2020 VIRTUAL WALK FOR HOPE AND FAMILY FUN DAY
REGISTRATION ENDS SEPT 19!
Our Walk For Hope is our annual family-oriented fundraiser to support people with autism and their families while improving autism awareness. All funds raised from this event stay in our community and support Autism Society Acadiana's programs & resources. This year, due to Covid-19 precautions, we're going virtual!
Between September 1 and Oct 3, Walk for Hope participants can log the miles they walk daily to our Walk website and raise money to support Autism Society Acadiana. Prizes will be given for the top three fundraisers, the team with the most members, and those that logged the most miles walked. Since this is also our 35th anniversary, special recognition will be given to those walk 35 miles or more.
Participants will be able to pick up their Walk for Hope t-shirts on Saturday, September 26 at the Autism Society Acadiana office located at 3108 W. Pinhook Road in Lafayette. T-shirt pick up will take place 10:00a until 2:00p.
All funds raised from this event stay in our community and support Autism Society Acadiana's programs & resources. These include:
- Stipends for families to attend autism-related seminars/conferences;
- Mini-grants for teachers and professionals who work with students with autism;
- Local conferences/workshops/training on autism topics
- Family-friendly events throughout the year
