Akron Walks for Autism

 
A Walk and 5K Run to Benefit the Autism Society of Ohio, Greater Akron
 
June 9, 2012
Lock 3, Downtown Akron
 
Last year, more than 1,100 people gathered at Lock 3 in downtown Akron to support Akron Walks for Autism, a walk and 5k run to benefit the Autism Society Greater Akron (now the Autism Society of Ohio, Greater Akron Office). Also part of this amazing event was an Autism Vendor Fair, where 40 leading companies and organizations showcased products, services, and information related to autism and other disabilities.
 
Please accept this letter on behalf of the Autism Society of Ohio, Greater Akron Office as a request for sponsorship for this year’s Walk/Run.  Your sponsorship will contribute to our goal of raising funds to support children and adults with Autism and their families. All donations are tax deductible under 501c3 Tax # 34-1694514.
 
This special event builds the community and raises awareness of the day-to-day challenges faced by people with autism and those who love them.  All money raised provides services and support to local families. The Autism Society of Ohio, Greater Akron is part of the Autism Society, a national organization with a chapter network that focuses on bringing services and support to local individuals and families impacted by autism. The Greater Akron office serves Summit, Stark, Medina, Portage and Wayne counties.
