RUN, WALK, STIM! Our 3rd annual Friends With Autism 5K/Walk is more than just a Run and a Walk - it's a fun time for the entire community to come together and raise awareness, acceptance, and support for families and people on the autism spectrum in Northeast Florida! Also, an opportunity for families to raise funds to provide a Modest Need grant for their loved needs on their autism journey, and corporations and schools to provides Sensory Bags for their classrooms.
When we raise awareness here... Funds raised will stay here! Funds raised will be returned to our community to provide grants to families, our mobile Sensory Room at community events, school supplies, and Sensory Bags to students and schools; and fulfill our mission and vision.
