Fundraising
Participants who purchase their race entry through OAR are asked to commit to a $600 fundraising minimum. Team members who secure their own race entry at www.marinemarathon.com have a $250 fundraising minimum. Regardless of registration type, all OAR runners will receive a fundraising agreement, which they must complete and return to OAR staff. Runners purchasing their entry through OAR will NOT be registered until the completed fundraising agreement has been returned. Once your commitment form has been returned, you will be sent an OAR Runner's Kit. This kit includes the RUN FOR AUTISM t-shirt, custom OAR dry-wick race singlet, and OAR Fundraising Guide.
Team members have the opportunity to set up a personal fundraising Web site to aid in their fundraising efforts. OAR encourages all runners to set a fundraising goal of at least $1000.

Why Run for Autism?
Raise money for autism research - More than $.84 of every dollar you raise will directly fund research studies that help answer some of autism’s most pressing questions. Since its inception in 2003, the RUN FOR AUTISM has raised more than $3.1 million for applied autism research.
The Organization for Autism Research (OAR) is a national, nonprofit organization formed and led by relatives of children and adults with autism and Asperger Syndrome. OAR is dedicated to promoting research that can be applied to help families, educators, caregivers, and individuals with autism find much-needed answers to their immediate and urgent questions. Committed to the excellence in its services to the autism community, OAR funds applied research that will make a difference in individual lives; provides information that is timely, useful, and cost-efficient; and offers opportunities for the autism community to collaborate and make advances together.
Whether you are a runner, walker, donor or volunteer, your contribution makes you part of OAR’s RUN FOR AUTISM team.
In the end, you will have made a difference in the lives of thousands of families living with autism.
