In Comal 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.
New Braunfels had their first Walk for Autism in 2019 and this event has become a critical part of increasing services provided to families raising children with Autism. The incredible involvement of NBISD, CISD, the McKenna Center, and our other community partners has allowed for Any Baby Can-NB to provide services and supports for families raising individuals on the spectrum. All proceeds stay local to fund critical, one-of-a-kind programs at Any Baby Can - New Braunfels.
April is National Autism Awareness Month. Join us for our 6th Annual walk for autism!
What to expect at the walk
Our resource fair brings you a multitude of different autism, family, and healthcare resources from a variety of organizations, businesses, and service providers.
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 $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 $1,000 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.
Area available for families with children with sensory sensitivities. The area is outside of the Walk for Autism footprint (less traffic and quieter).
As the Walk for Autism approaches, we'll be updating this page with FAQs, parking information, and more - stay tuned!
