WALK FOR AUTISM

Today, about 1 in 31 children in the United States are identified as autistic, and many families begin a journey of learning, advocacy, and support.

Shorefront Y is proud to host the Walk for Autism to support children with autism and other developmental disabilities, and the families who support them every day.


Join us for a meaningful, family-friendly, interactive day in an uplifting atmosphere with beautiful ocean views as we support the autism community. Enjoy the fresh air, connect with others, and kick off your summer with purpose. Every step strengthens our bond with the community and helps make a real difference.

 

All proceeds from the walk will directly support Shorefront Y, helping to strengthen and expand the services we provide and allowing us to serve even more children and families in our community.

 

Registration is required to receive a T-shirt and be entered into the raffle.

 

If you cannot join us for the walk, please consider making a tax-deductible donation or help by spreading the word to your friends and family.
