Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center

A 🌟MASSIVE🌟 thank you to our wonderful staff for putting on our 4th Annual YES Day Walk for Autism this past Sunday, Oct. 27! 🥳🤩 So much time and planning goes into this event year after year and we couldn't do it without the hard work from every member of our staff 💜 If joining the team at SARRC is something you're interested in, please browse our open positions at autismcenter.org/careers!

YES Day Walk for Autism is this Sunday, Oct. 27 at Tempe Beach Park! This golden day was made possible with the help of our Gold Sponsor, MC Companies! We asked MC Companies why participating in YES Day was important to them and they said: "MC Companies has chosen autism as one of our corporate initiatives because we believe in creating a more inclusive community, and supporting YES Day for Autism helps us promote understanding and empowerment for individuals and families affected by autism." Bring your family, friends, coworkers, and anyone else to join in on the free #YesDayWalkForAutism celebration! From 9 a.m. to noon, join us for a family-friendly one-mile walk, a robust Autism Resource Fair, food trucks, a pumpkin patch, activities, and more! Learn more at yesdayforautism.org!
