Sonoma Walk Now for Autism Increases Participation by 1400% in Three Years
In 2006, fifty eager walkers in Sonoma County raised $10,000 for Autism Speaks; on April 19, 2008 at the third annual Sonoma Walk Now for Autism, 750 walkers brought in $110,000. Eighty-one teams participated in the walk, which took place at Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, Calif., nearly 30 more than last year.
The Mayor of Rohnert Park, Jake McKenzie, addressed the crowd, recognizing the amazing outpouring of community and paying special note to the best turnout from Rohnert Park in the event's history.
The resource fair showcased 11 booths, including Bay Respite Care, Anova School, UC Davis - Department of Public Health Services, AT Network-Community Resources for Independence, Matrix Parent Network & Resource Center, Marin, Redwood Pediatric Therapy Associates, Inc., A Better Chance School/California Autism Foundation, Early Learning Institute, and The Swain Center. A number of generous sponsors contributed to the success of the Sonoma Walk Now for Autism. Special thanks to National Walk sponsor, Toys"R"Us, for bringing Geoffrey the Giraffe, and featuring the "10 Toys that Speak to Autism". Other sponsors included United Health Services Schools and United Cerebral Palsy/Cypress School. Many thanks to Walk Chairs Ronnie Echavarria and Aura Lopez for making this walk so successful.
