Have Dreams’ mission is to help individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) learn, function independently and socialize so that they may realize their full potential and develop into contributing members of their communities.

Since 2009, Team Have Dreams Bank of America Chicago Marathon has raised over $500,000 towards much-needed programs and services for children, teens, and young adults with autism!
