Unleash your inner hero at the Hero 5K for Autism, April 21st 2024 – Join the movement, make a difference, and stride with purpose!
Please Help Us to Fundraise!
There is no “ducking” the issue: This event is, of course, a FUNDRAISER! We need to deploy our army of helpful individuals to make this the biggest, baddest 5K fundraiser we’ve ever had.
Even if you’re running in the race, please consider helping us to raise additional funds to support programs that impact and enhance life skills, mental health, and personal safety of Autistic community members.
Create a fundraising team, donate to your favorite team, or just send in your welcomed donation today!
Sponsorship Opportunities
For the 2024 season, we invite you to sponsor our fast-paced fundraising event, the in-person Hero 5K for Autism – April 21st, 2024 at Mohwak Harbor, Schenectady.
Through your sponsorship, you communicate your support of the Autism community and build brand recognition with our audience of thousands. Our community of Autistic individuals and their families across the Greater Hudson Region is always in search of businesses that support their diverse needs. The unique nature of these events ensures that your brand is seen constantly. We collect new signups every day and continue promoting registration until the final day of the challenge. That means your organization’s name and logo on our event pages are seen daily by our community for nearly four months. We also promote your business in our event materials and provide you with race registrations so you can join the challenge!
This and other ASGHR events fund crucial support, resources, and programs for local families living with autism. Our goal is to raise $10,000 to honor and serve every person affected by autism in the Greater Hudson Region!
