Do-A-Thon
April is National Autism Awareness Month. In 2021, Autism New Jersey committed to moving beyond awareness by offering the public an opportunity to actively participate in an event in honor of our incredible autism community.  By sharing their stories and signing up for challenges to conquer a new skill or showcase a fun talent, participants will be able to promote important messages of awareness to broader audiences. 

Autism is a spectrum, meaning that each individual with autism is different.  Individuals with autism have unique skill levels, challenges and interests. The Do-A-Thon is an event that highlights everything that makes all of us different.  Participants can join on their own or part of a team.  All proceeds raised benefit Autism New Jersey.
