One in 44 children nationwide will be diagnosed with autism this year. In Bexar and surrounding counties, over 30,000 individuals are living with autism. That means that you or someone you know has a close connection to a child or individual who lives with autism and whose daily lives are challenged by this diagnosis.
Founded in 2003 with 200 participants, the Any Baby Can Walk for Autism has grown into an official Fiesta® event bringing together over 10,000 participants and community partners from San Antonio, Bexar County, and South Texas to provide services and support for families raising individuals on the spectrum. All proceeds stay local to fund critical, one-of-a kind programs at Any Baby Can of San Antonio.
April is National Autism Awareness Month. Join us for our 21st Annual walk for autism!
Our resource fair brings you over 100 different autism, family, and healthcare resources from a variety of organizations, businesses, and service providers.
Dedicated in memory of Rudy Alejos, a 6 yr. old boy with autism who perished in a fire in August of 2011. Rudy's Playground is a children's activity area provides adapted fitness, safety demonstrations and activities where children of all abilities can participate and have fun.
Teams that raise $1,500 or more will have exclusive access to our VIP reception area at the Walk site. Teams who earn entry will receive special VIP treatment including breakfast, refreshments, and giveaways.
Teams who raise $2,000 or more, will get their own team tent and meeting space to decorate. These teams will get their own cases of water, breakfast delivered to their tents, and a official team photo.
What's a fiesta event without a little shopping? Check out the vendors, and shop for a cause while you're at it - a portion of the proceeds will be donated back to Any Baby Can!
Autism Heroes will host the Autism Awareness Ride. Participants will ride from Palo Alto to an off-site location. (We recommend headphones, as the choppers can be loud!)
Area available for families with children with sensory sensitivities. The area is indoors and outside of the Walk for Autism footprint (less traffic and quieter).
