Just as importantly, the event creates opportunities for families and organizations to share experiences, identify unmet needs, and strengthen the network of support available in our community.
Bring the whole family and enjoy a morning filled with:
* 2-Mile Walk & Run: Participate at your own pace in a welcoming community event.

* Pirate & Princess Fun: Costumes are encouraged as families join in the themed adventure.
* Family Activities: Enjoy interactive experiences and opportunities for all ages.
* Treasure Quest: Explore participating booths and discover the treasures our community has to offer.
* Food Trucks & More: Enjoy food options and community fun throughout the morning.
Our goal is to create a welcoming experience where individuals of all abilities can participate in ways that work for them. Everyone is invited, and participation in activities is always a personal choice.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Everyone is welcome! We invite families of autistic loved ones, people with related disabilities, families, caregivers, friends, educators, service providers, community organizations, and anyone who believes in building a more inclusive community.
Local businesses, nonprofits, public agencies, healthcare providers, and educational organizations are also encouraged to participate in the Resource Fair and help families discover the resources available to them.
You can support the event by registering for the walk, inviting family and friends, volunteering, sponsoring the event, or participating as a community resource partner.
