Why Run for Autism?

Raise money for autism research - More than $.85 of every dollar you raise will directly fund research studies that help answer some of autism’s most pressing questions.

Whether you are a runner, walker, donor or volunteer, your contribution makes you part of OAR’s RUN FOR AUTISM team.

In the end, you will have made a difference in the lives of thousands of families living with autism.
