Autism Speaks Walk

The 2023 Autism Speaks Charlotte Walk presented by Northeastern University in Charlotte is back to raise vital funds that fuel the Autism Speaks’ mission of creating a more inclusive world for all people with autism.

This year’s Walk will be held at Truist Field in Downtown Charlotte on Saturday, October 28^th bringing the community together to take a stand, celebrate differences and promote the inclusion of people with autism in all aspects of society. Everyone is encouraged to participate. Whether you have autism, love someone who does, or are looking to support a diverse, accepting and kind community – you’re invited!

In the US, autism affects 1 in 36 children and 1 in 45 adults. Autism Speaks is dedicated to creating an inclusive world where all people with autism can reach their full potential.     

Autism Speaks Walk events are tailored to fit local needs in each community, with the shared goal of providing a network of friendship and support, and raising funds that provide crucial resources, research, advocacy, and support to help all people with autism.
