Thank You, Houston!
The 2009 Houston Walk Now for Autism Speaks was our best yet! There were over 6,500 people in attendance and we are so close to our goal of $350,000. Thank you to all of the sponsors, walkers, volunteers, and Resource Fair participants who made the day such a success! To see pictures of the big day, click here.
We're Almost There!
If every walker sent just 3 more emails asking for a donation, we could make it to our goal by Thanksgiving! Try including the above link to the walk day pictures with a message of "It's Not Too Late To Donate" to three more people. Or set out a spooky bowl at your Halloween Party this weekend with a sign asking for donations. Be sure to thank your donors who have supported you!
