Successful 2024, Check! Bring On RUN FOR AUTISM 2025

In 2024, RUN team members from around the world represented OAR at 30 events, including ultramarathons, triathlons, and our own Active for Autism 5K and Kids Dash. Together, OAR’s 2024 team of 945 runners, walkers, cyclists, and triathletes joined forces to raise nearly $1 million. That money will help fulfill OAR’s mission in 2025 which includes the goals to fund:

• 11 new applied and graduate research studies, totaling over $297,000 in new research
• 5 new community grants to create new autism resources
• 17 new peer education grants to teach more than 20,000 students about autism
