Autism Society of Nebraska’s Annual Puzzle Walk and 5K Run
OMAHA, NEBRASKA—The Autism Society of Nebraska is proud to announce our annual Autism Society Puzzle Walk and 5K Run. The race is to raise awareness about autism spectrum disorder as well as help families in Nebraska that are affected by autism spectrum disorder.
The walk and run will be held on April 25, 2015, in Omaha at the Ralston Arena located on 72nd and Q Street. Come join us for a great family event with bounce houses for all ages, face painting, carnival games, character appearances and loads of fun! Rain or shine the event will still go on at this indoor venue–the only outdoor activities will be the 5K Run and the Fun Walk. The cost of attendance is, $12 Adults 19 and over, $8 for those 18 and under, $30 for 5K runners.
Every 11 minutes a child is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The family is told that early intervention is critical. Then they realize they can’t afford those services. The puzzle walk and 5K run last year raised $65,777.10 for residents of Nebraska affected by autism spectrum disorder. For more information visit www.autismnebraska.org.
