We laced up our sneakers, some of us rallying our kids and pets, and headed onto the streets for a Virtual 5K! We smashed through our $500 goal, raising $970! Plus, the event itself raised over $71,000 with participants from 10 countries! All proceeds from the Active for Autism Virtual 5K will go to OAR’s new Changing Lives Fund and will be used solely for direct research and program support.
