A message from the event formerly known as Dylan's Run...

THEN - Dylan’s Run was created to build awareness about Autism in the Milwaukee area and to generate dollars for Autism research and outreach programs. When the event began in 2001, the rate of Autism was 1 out of 500 children. We wanted to highlight the disability and allow families and individuals affected by Autism to have an opportunity to come together and show their support for each other. That first year resulted in 354 participants and has grown in media support, financial support and participant support to become the largest single-day gathering to support Autism in Wisconsin.

NOW - With your help we will continue that growth into the A-Team Fun Walk for Autism! We need to continue what we’ve started. The incidence of Autism is now 1 in 36 per the Centers for Disease Control, 2023. As a result, the number of families needing support is growing. Your fundraising is an important way we can provide this support to all that are affected by Autism. The funds we raise help our neighbors, our schools, our public safety officers and and our entire community.

Thank you for supporting our mission to creates connections, empowering everyone in the Autism community with the resources needed to live fully.
We exist to serve our local Autism community through advocacy, community programming, and creating a more inclusive world.

Every penny raised through your fundraising stays in Southeastern Wisconsin!
