17th Annual Vista Walk for Autism
On Thursday, September 26th, we will hold the 17th Annual Vista Walk for Autism to support individuals across Vista's 11 programs. This year's fundraising walk, themed "Rainbow of Possibilities," celebrates the vibrant diversity within the autism community and highlights our belief that every individual can reach their unique potential. By embracing the spectrum of colors, we honor the myriad strengths and abilities of our clients, students, and families, illustrating that with support and determination, anything is possible.
Leading up to the event, we invite Vista's families, staff, and friends to create fundraising pages in support of individuals served by Vista. Fundraising efforts will culminate in a day of celebration on September 26th, when the individuals we serve, staff, families, and friends participate in a walk around Vista's main campus or one of our satellite locations and enjoy fun activities throughout the day!
Every dollar raised will go toward the ATM fund (Achieved Together Money), which grants funds to fulfill individual client needs that come up throughout the year, program enhancements, supplemental technology, and organization improvements.
