Our 4th Annual Autism Awareness 5K Walk/Run was absolutely incredible!

Today, hundreds of individuals, families, advocates, community partners, and supporters came together to raise awareness, promote acceptance, and celebrate the autism community. Seeing so many people united for one cause was truly inspiring.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for every person who registered, walked, volunteered, donated, sponsored, and supported this event. Your presence helped make a powerful statement that autism awareness matters and that every individual deserves inclusion, understanding, and support.

A special thank you goes out to our amazing vendors, food trucks, community organizations, and activity providers. Your kindness, friendliness, and commitment to serving our families helped create a welcoming and memorable experience for everyone who attended.

From the sensory-friendly activities and face painting to the food trucks, ice cream, music, bubbles, and community resources, the day was filled with smiles, laughter, connection, and hope.

Together, we showed that when a community comes together, we can make a lasting impact.

Thank you for helping The Francois Foundation for Autism continue its mission of supporting children with autism and their families throughout Delaware.
