Join Any Baby Can’s Virtual Walk for Autism this Sat, Apr 18th

Celebrate Autism Awareness and Fiesta San Antonio the Virtual Way with Any Baby Can!

Any Baby Can is excited to announce our Virtual Walk for Autism! April is Autism Awareness month and we will still march, walk, and ride on! Join us…Saturday April 18, 2020 at Any point in the day!

What: COVID-19 has cancelled Fiesta 2020 this month, but Any Baby Can’s Walk for Autism will go on with a virtual walk in your neighborhood! The Walk for Autism, in its 16th year, helps support families raising children, youth, and adults with Autism. Proceeds fund the many programs ABC
has available for families facing Autism. COVID-19 doesn’t stop the fact that families need support and services, it actually has increased it. Any Baby Can has seen a 91% increase in requests for assistance during this pandemic. Registration is free and donations can be made online at
www.anybabycansa.org. Any Baby Can is hoping to raise at least $5,400 to represent the current autism rate (1 in 54 children identified with autism spectrum disorder ASD).

Who: Families raising children with autism spectrum disorder and community members who support them will walk, jog and ride bikes in their neighborhood. Participants will be dressed in their favorite superhero costume, wear autism awareness shirts, and carry autism awareness signs.
The Autism Heroes Motorcycle club will also ride in their neighborhoods to show their support. The Autism Heroes is made up of riders from various clubs and several who love a child with autism in their own family.

When: Saturday, April 18, 2020. Any point in the day.

Where: In your neighborhood
