Participate in Autism Walks on Wheels with Hopebridge

How Families Can Safely Get Involved in the Autism Community During COVID-19

Life looks a little (ok, a lot) different for many of us these days, but that does not mean we cannot continue to support our favorite causes and each other. To raise awareness and vital funds for the autism community, Hopebridge Autism Therapy Centers team members and families will participate in Autism Speaks Walk in a new format.

From an Autism Speaks Walk on Wheels to virtual offerings, the event will not be any less fun than usual. Each location is putting its own creative twist on the traditional walk. Please view the calendar of events below to learn how you can participate in your local community.
