Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC) is excited to celebrate the 4th annual YES Day Walk for Autism™ with our supportive community on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024 at Tempe Beach Park!
This year, we are thrilled to introduce a 1-Mile Family-Friendly Walk during the event!
SARRC YES Day walk teams are invited to join our inaugural community one-mile walk at their own pace, offering a fun and engaging way to boost your 2024 fundraising efforts! Opening Ceremonies begin at 9 a.m., with an instructor-led stretch session to warm up our attendees for the Walk. Following the walk, participants can enjoy all that our fourth annual event has to offer!
Event Highlights (9 a.m. to Noon):
💜 1-Mile Family-Friendly Walk: Participants will enjoy a scenic one-mile stroll at their own pace along the canal, looping back to finish at the park, where the YES Day festivities will continue! The walk will kick off at 9 a.m. at the main stage with the start line stationed under the Mill Avenue bridge.
💜 Resource Fair: Visit and chat with a diverse network of autism providers from around Arizona.
💜 Live Entertainment & Special Performances: Attendees can look forward to a morning full of exciting and interactive performances at the main stage.
💜 Carnival & Kids’ Zone: Enjoy an array of arts and crafts, face painting stations, carnival games and prizes, team relay races, and more.
💜 Eats & Treats: Explore more local food trucks dishing up delicious eats from around the Valley.
💜 Sprouts Pumpkin Patch: Choose a free pumpkin in the Sprouts Pumpkin Patch and head to our no-carve decorating stations.
💜 Quiet Zone: The event will also include a large quiet zone where families can take breaks.
Leading up to the October 27 event, we encourage our community to register in advance to help raise funds, awareness and acceptance! Everyone is invited and encouraged to join our efforts: families, friends, partners, and the community at large, who are driven by a desire to create more supportive, inclusive communities for people with autism.
