Kendle Design Collaborative has been proud to have supported Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center (SARRC) since our doors opened in 2002. Their organization is near and dear to our hearts, both because of the amazing breakthroughs it has achieved and in the support it has provided right here in our community to families and individuals in great need.

Around the time Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC) was founded, the incidence of an autism diagnosis was 1 in 500; today it is 1 in 36.

This year, our Team is participating YES Day Walk for Autism to raise critical autism funding not only for SARRC but for other nonprofit autism organizations throughout the state as well. Importantly, all dollars raised will be kept in Arizona for Arizona. 

YES Day Walk for Autism is as much about saying “yes” to autism awareness, support, and inclusion as it is to saying “yes” to statewide collaboration. Every dollar raised will help the state expand from Phoenix as “the most autism-friendly city” to Arizona as “the most autism-friendly state.”

If you are in the Phoenix area, we would be thrilled to have you join our team for the 2024 YES Day Walk for Autism on Sunday, October 27th from 9am – noon. Highlights of the event include:

• New 1-Mile Family-Friendly Walk
  
• Resource Fair
  
• Live Entertainment and Special Performances
  
• Carnival and Kids’ Zone
  
• Eats and Treats
  
• Pumpkin Patch
