2023 was a record-breaking year for the RUN FOR AUTISM program. Thanks to the fundraising efforts and hard-earned miles of 942 runners, walkers, and triathletes, the RUN FOR AUTISM team raised more than $1,060,000, a new OAR fundraising record marking the first time the program has raised over one million dollars. That achievement is even more noteworthy since it came in the RUN’s 20th anniversary year as a charity running program.
The money raised by the 2023 RUN FOR AUTISM team will help fund OAR’s 2024 programs, including:
The fundraising success of OAR’s RUN FOR AUTISM team members allows OAR to break new ground each year, and we plan to do the same in 2024.
