Organized by Sherry Algredo, a dedicated mom and community leader who also serves as the Chair of Community Board 9, the annual Autism Awareness Walk has grown exponentially over the years. We were proud to have joined for the first time as an organization this year. There are so many stigmas around autism even though so many families in our community are directly impacted by it. Here’s to more support for those families and less judgement towards those who have autism. We are grateful to Sherry for her commitment to this cause and all she does to empower parents and families in our neighborhood.
