Organiser's Description

WE ARE EXCITED TO WELCOME YOU BACK TO AN IN-PERSON AUT2RUN AT CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY CHANNEL ISLANDS ON SUNDAY, APRIL 27TH, 2025! For those of you who can't experience Aut2Run in-person, but would still like to support Autism Society Ventura County, we will be offering a virtual option for you to participate in. This year is extra special to us as we celebrate Aut2Run's 12th anniversary!

100% OF THE PROCEEDS FROM AUT2RUN GO DIRECTLY TOWARDS FULFILLING AUTISM SOCIETY VENTURA COUNTY'S (ASVC) MISSION TO CREATE CONNECTIONS, EMPOWERING ALL WITH AUTISM TO LIVE FULLY. ASVC works to promote lifelong access and opportunity for all individuals within the autism spectrum and their families to be fully included members of the community. They achieve this through education, advocacy, a variety of programs, increasing public awareness, and collaboration with other agencies.

ASVC programs are primarily for individuals, families and caregivers who have people in their lives with autism of all ages. We also collaborate with service providers, agency staff, educators and teachers, and professionals who are interested in furthering the mission of ASVC. Their programs are open to any individual, family, or community member impacted by autism. Our Board consists of all dedicated volunteers.
