Autism Speaks is proud of our signature fundraising event which brings together hundreds of thousands of participants annually across the United States and Canada with a common goal of supporting Autism Speaks. Powered by volunteers and families with loved ones on the autism spectrum, this successful grassroots fundraising effort not only generates vital funds for autism research but also raises awareness about the increasing prevalence of autism and the need for increased research funding to combat this complex disorder. T-shirts, coffee and snacks will be provided to all volunteers. Jobs include registration, t-shirt distribution, food distribution, route marshalls, etc. IMPORTANT: If you sign up for this event, PLEASE also register on the official website http://www.walknowforautismspeaks.org/faf/login/teamPageEdit.asp?ievent=1014703&lis=0&kntae1014703=A7F17E5E5DCD466BBD42B3289F97D966&page=view (it's free so there's really no reason not to!). It'll just help them keep track of how many volunteers are coming. Thanks! Travel time is included in this event; volunteering is from 7 - 12.
