Autism Acceptance Month

ACEing Autism is excited to announce its 2021 Autism Acceptance Campaign, starting on April 1st, 2021 and running throughout the entire month. This year’s campaign will consist of two components detailed below:

Racquet Run

Sunday, April 11, through Sunday April 25, 2021

REGISTER

The goal is for participants—ACEing Autism families, volunteers, family members, friends—to run, jog or walk (from anywhere!) over the two-week Racquet Run period—while holding a tennis racquet!

Participants will be running for the ACEing Autism program location closest to their home. Location HERE.

PRIZES!! Participants from the top 3 programs by distance completed will receive an ACEing Autism prize package! ALL Racquet Run participants from program locations that reach 54 miles—1 in 54 is the present autism diagnosis rate in the U.S.—will receive a special token from ACEing Autism.

*Each participant MUST register using this form for their distances to count toward their city/town’s total. Participants must submit an entry from each run, jog or walk over the two-week period (via Google Form sent upon registration).

The ACEing Autism Racquet Run aims to:

      1. Fundraise to keep your program affordable for all
      2. Hold trainings for new and returning volunteers to ensure clinics are carried out at a consistently high-quality level.
      3. Generate program awareness to attract new families, volunteers and create new program locations!
