Fundraising
OAR believes in a "Set Your Own Goal" fundraising philosoph, however runners who receive entries to the marathon through OAR are required to raise a minimum of $500. Runners have historically averaged raising between $1,500 and $2,000. Runners who raise $2,500 or more receive a special gift of recognition for their outstanding fundraising efforts.
Why Run for Autism?
Raise money for autism research - More than $.85 of every dollar you raise will directly fund research studies that help answer some of autism’s most pressing questions.
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.
