About YES Day Walk for Autism™
Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC) is excited to celebrate YES Day Walk for Autism™ with our supportive community on Sunday, Oct. 27! Leading up to our in person event, we encourage our community to register in advance to help raise funds, awareness, and acceptance!
This year, we are thrilled to introduce a 1-Mile Family-Friendly Walk during the fourth annual event! SARRC YES Day teams are invited to join our inaugural community one-mile walk at their own pace, offering a fun and engaging way to boost your 2024 fundraising efforts! Opening Ceremonies begin at 9 a.m., with an instructor-led stretch session to warm up our attendees for the Walk. Following the Walk, participants can enjoy all that our fourth annual event as to offer!
YES Day Walk for Autism is a fundraising and awareness campaign. Walk teams will have the chance to recruit team members and fundraise (score cool prizes along the way!) during the weeks leading up to our in-person community event on Sunday, Oct. 27 at Tempe Beach Park (a celebration you won’t want to miss!).
When you say "YES," you are saying:
- YES! to listening to and understanding people with autism.
- YES! to early screening, diagnosis, and access to effective services.
- YES! to high-quality education and healthcare.
- YES! to training for first responders.
- YES! to supporting employment opportunities for adults with autism.
- YES! to innovative housing solutions.
- YES! to building more supportive, inclusive communities across Arizona.
So…are you in?
It’s easy…just say YES!
Through SARRC’s YES Day Walk for Autism, Arizona will proudly celebrate what’s possible when we work together, share resources, and collaborate effectively to say “yes” for people with autism and their families. And importantly, all dollars raised in Arizona for Arizona.
