Run for Autism

Run for Autism event banner

Join us for our 5th Annual Run for Autism Event! A community awareness and acceptance event to support Arizona Autism United, an organization providing services to local families living with autism and other developmental disabilities since 2006.

With an alarming rate of 1 in 31 children in the U.S. diagnosed with autism, your support is critical! Register to run, walk, or enjoy the side games and activities available for attendees.

You can also create a team and invite your family members and friends. This event makes a great team-building opportunity for companies wanting to support Arizona families living with autism and other neurodiversities. Everyone is welcome! Proceeds will go to programs for families in need.
