2011 OC Walk Now for Autism Speaks

"Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean."

It's that time of year again! The Orange County Walk Now for Autism Speaks will be on Saturday, November 12 at Angel's Stadium in Anaheim. Hooray!

This is such a fun event that Autism Speaks puts on every year to raise money for autism research and community awareness. There will be a booth area full of great local resources, service providers, and activities to check out both before and after the walk. During the walk, we will be able to walk the perimeter of the baseball field; cool!!

To all of our IN STEPPS families, staff, family, and supporters: We will be there! We would love for you to join our team and come out and support this great cause. All members of TEAM IN STEPPS will get a cool IN STEPPS t-shirt so our team can walk in unity! Registration is free and there are no fund-raising requirements. However, if you raise $150 you also get an Autism Speaks t-shirt as well.

Bring out the kids, grandparents, friends, and neighbors! This is a family friendly event and there will be lots of great activities and information available for everyone!

Be sure to stop by the IN STEPPS booth for fun surprises and giveaways! Many of our staff members will be there, so come on out and say "hello" and walk with your family for an important cause. And if you're an Team IN STEPPS walker, come check in with us to get your t-shirt and walk as a team!
