Forever improving the lives of individuals and families affected by autism spectrum disorder through partnerships for support, treatments, and care.
Autism Evansville has a passion for those affected individuals and their families. Our executive director, board of directors, and other volunteers oversee and administer all programs. Through partnerships with service providers, schools, and the local community, we carry out our mission.
Autism Evansville events bring individuals and families who have autism spectrum disorder, their siblings, and parents/caregivers together in a supportive recreational environment.
4.20.24. It’s hard to put into words the phenomenal growth of Autism Evansville Fundraiser: Taking Steps For Autism Walk & 5K, presented by Tools 4 Teaching, LLC, Liberty Federal Credit Union, & 14 NEWS.
It’s a day full of love & support for families in the tri-state who are raising a family member on the spectrum.
We had a record number of participants this year.. **706**!! Walking with your families during the family walk and ‘taking steps’ is therapeutic.
We love seeing it all come together after six months of planning behind the scenes. 💕
This incredible event wouldn’t be possible without YOU - our families that we have the opportunity to serve. Thank you for spending your Saturday with us!!
There are so many amazing people to thank, from volunteers to characters, and sponsors & vendors!
***We also especially want to thank the first responders on site for providing security and keeping everyone safe: Evansvilles Finest LLC., Law Enforcement Services, Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office, & Scott Township Fire & EMS.
With our participants, 20+ vendors, volunteers, characters, and two dozen first responders, we easily hosted 800 people on site, if not more.
Here’s a few photos until Rayn Miller Photography has the opportunity to edit hers.
Thank you all for an incredible day!!
We love supporting you and your family! 🥰
