Autism Awareness Walk 2026
April 4, 2026
The AJ and the Cool Kids Autism Foundation invite you to partner with us for our annual Step Into Kindness Autism Walk on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at CaroMont Health Park.
This community-driven event promotes autism acceptance, raises awareness for autism and developmental delays, and supports vital programs for individuals and families impacted by autism. We expect approximately 2,000 participants, creating a meaningful and lasting impact throughout our community.
Sponsorship plays a critical role in expanding the reach of this event and ensuring accessibility for all families. Support from our partners helps fund essential resources, educational initiatives, and financial assistance programs that are crucial for post-diagnosis success.
Sponsors receive valuable recognition through event branding, logo placement, social media promotion, and speaking opportunities, depending on sponsorship level.
Our Presenting Sponsor level ($10,000) includes event naming recognition and prominent visibility!
Together, we can cultivate a supportive, inclusive community and make a lifetime of difference for individuals with autism and their families.
Join us as a sponsor and help us Step Into Kindness.
Thank You to Our Sponsors!
Summertime in Paris Gala
August 2, 2025
Our annual fundraising gala is an evening of celebration that also fosters fellowship and a deeper connection to the community. Each year, we honor at least one family with an unrestricted financial gift to use on autism care. These funds can be used on a broad range of family needs from therapeutic interventions to relaxation and respite for caregivers – we believe those living with autism, and those caring for someone with autism both deserve to have their needs met.
Since 2022, we’ve awarded $2000.00 to two local families – and we look forward to honoring another in 2024, with your support. Meet our previous honorees below.
Thank You to Our Sponsors!
Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with autism? AJ and the Cool Kids can help.
