OAR’S RUN FOR AUTISM program returned to a full schedule in 2022 and enjoyed a record-breaking bounce-back from the pandemic years. Our team of 840 runners and triathletes joined forces to raise more than $900,000, setting a new OAR fundraising record in the process. The previous high was $803,232 in 2018.
Since January, the RUN FOR AUTISM team has proudly represented OAR at endurance events across the country, in London and Berlin, and virtually. This year’s RUN team members and the people who donated in their support exemplify the spirit, determination, and generosity of the autism community. Congratulations and thank you to each and every one of those team members who inspire us year-round and their generous donors!
The money raised by the 2022 RUN FOR AUTISM team will help fund OAR’s 2023 programs to include:
The success of our runners’ fundraising efforts allows OAR to break new ground each year and we plan to do the same in 2023. Will you resolve to RUN FOR AUTISM in 2023?
