The Autism Speaks Canada Walk events are the signature fundraising events for Autism Speaks Canada. Since they began, they have raised over $12.7 million in support of autism research, services, awareness and collaboration.
Powered by love, the walk brings individuals, families, friends, co-workers and communities together to support and connect with one another.
Walkers are encouraged to raise funds and enjoy the day, complete with family-fun activities, quiet zone, Resource Fair and walk. All participants who raise $150 or more qualify for a commemorative 2018 T-shirt.
“Thanks to the tremendous community support and the work of our volunteers, our Autism Speaks Canada Walks continue to provide funding to impact the lives of individuals and families living with autism,” said Jill Farber, executive director.
“We are also grateful for the dedication of Toys'R'Us and Babies'R'Us. Their exemplary support of our Autism Speaks Canada Walk program and participation in awareness campaigns such as Light It Up Blue and Sensory Friendly Shopping, have played a pivotal role in helping us enhance the lives of people with autism. We couldn’t ask for a better partner,” said Jill.
