The Autism Society of North Carolina (ASNC) invites you to participate in the 12th annual Triangle Run/Walk for Autism on Saturday, October 9 at Moore Square in downtown Raleigh.
The Triangle Run/Walk for Autism includes a 5K race (part of the Second Empire Grand Prix Series) as well as a non-competitive 5K, 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk and the Carolina Hurricanes Kids Dash for children aged 6 and under.
Why run or walk for autism? The Autism Society of North Carolina supports the 50,000+ North Carolinians living with autism through advocacy, education, legislative monitoring, supported living services, recreational opportunities, skills instruction and professional consultation. Proceeds from this event support individuals with autism across NC who need our services now more than ever!
ASNC needs your support as we continue to help all North Carolinians on the autism spectrum and their families. The Triangle Run/Walk for Autism is our biggest awareness and fundraising event of the year. Come celebrate with us.
Please visit www.trianglerunwalkforautism.com where you can sign up to participate, form a team, join an existing team, become a virtual team member, and encourage others to join you as you support ASNC! The event website enables you to create a personal fundraising page where you can recruit others to help you raise awareness and money and earn prizes.
