The top of the graphic has the Steps for Autism logo and the header "Fundraising Prizes". Below it says "For every $50: An AuSM branded fidget. $150: a yard sign featuring your team name. For every $250: a custom AuSM tumbler." On the right is a picture of a teal tumbler with a handle and a straw with the AuSM logo on it.

Step Up For Your Community!

This year, Steps for Autism is putting a new twist on a favorite event. Our community comes to connect as we always do, but with tons of new activities. Our resource fair at Steps for Autism features great organizations providing programs and services for our local autism community. Plus, there’s fun activities, games, food, entertainment, and interesting learning opportunities provided by many of our great partners. With all this, Steps for Autism is all about being in community, rather than walking to fundraise.

We’re asking people we know to give what they can to support the one in 34 Minnesotans diagnosed with autism – because with a ratio that high, the autism community truly is every one of us. At Steps for Autism, people like you step up to support Minnesota’s autism community.

Your donations stay local in Minnesota and we use every dollar to create programs and services that make a difference.

We step forward with purpose – the purpose of creating more inclusion, more accessibility, and more support for everyone in the autism community in Minnesota.

Step up for your family member, your community, your neighbors, your colleagues, your friends, and all of their families.

Join Steps for Autism to support programs and services building an inclusive Minnesota.
