Welcome to Walk Now for Autism Speaks: Northern New Jersey
Sunday, May 23, 2010 • Bergen Community College, NJ • Map it
Over 4,000 participants came out in support of the 9th Annual NNJ Walk Now for Autism Speaks on Sunday, May 23, 2010. Together, we raised over $447,000 (and counting!) to fund the most promising autism research, advance advocacy, provide family services, and raise autism awareness. We are so close to our goal and need your help to get there.
Congratulations to our 61 Top Teams and 106 Grand Club Members. You still have until August 31, 2010 to become a member of these elite clubs. Everyone will be recognized at the Awards Reception in September. Stay tuned for more details.
Special thanks to:
* Our Honorary Walk Chair, Michael Boley of the NY Giants who walked the route with his son, Michael
* Our National Sponsors, Toys “R”Us and Babies“R”Us who came out with a team of over 100 individuals and a sample of their Differently Abled Toys for children on the spectrum.
* Our Local Sponsor Fort Lee PBA who provided officers and a crew of EMTs in case of emergency
* Our Day of Sponsors – Funky Monkey Snacks, Refreshment Tent Sponsor and Team Breaking Zayna’s Silence - Grand Club Tent Sponsor
Our sponsors commitment and support to the success of our walk is outstanding, and so greatly appreciated. We’d also like to thank our countless in-kind sponsors who donated their special treats.
