why  form  a  team?

​Walking in our "Ceremonial Walk For Autism" with people you know makes participating event more fun! Fundraising together makes it that much easier to reach your goals. Teams can be made up of co-workers, friends, family members or anyone who wants to walk for a great cause.  If you can recruit dedicated people to walk with you (and we know you can!), consider forming a team.
