Raise money for Organization for Autism Research
The Organization for Autism Research (OAR) is the only autism charity that focuses solely on applied research. Funds raised directly support research and programs that help parents, families, and educators in the autism community on a daily basis
We’re dedicated to improving the lives of everyone affected by autism by supporting research that produces meaningful and practical results. We also keep families, educators, self-advocates, and professionals informed by delivering free, evidence-based resources and information everyday.
The RUN FOR AUTISM is OAR's signature fundraising activity. By joining the RUN FOR AUTISM - Pittsburgh Team, you can dedicate your miles to autism research.
WHY RUN FOR AUTISM?
