Join us on April 25th, 2026, at Benton Franklin County Fairgrounds as we plan something even larger!

We are excited to announce a local endeavor aimed at serving individuals and families impacted by autism in the greater Tri-Cities, WA area. The number of individuals diagnosed with autism has tremendously increased to 1 in 36 children in the United States, and there is a lack of resources and services available. Impacted individuals are often left being placed on waiting lists for the much-needed therapies on average from six months to a year. Local families are often isolated as they navigate a complex system of diagnostics, treatments, therapies, and educational tools. This event is being planned to help address those needs and we need your help to bring awareness and education to the community.

We held our first event in April 2024 which brought in over 2,500 spectators and are now planning for the next event with an anticipatory attendance of 3,000 people!
