Lehigh Valley Walk Now for Autism Speaks

The Lehigh Valley Walk Now for Autism Speaks will take place on Saturday, April 16, 2011 at Lehigh
Parkway in Allentown, PA. The Walk is a unique fundraising event which creates a safe and fun day for
families impacted by autism. The day includes a 5K walk (a shortcut is available) and a Community
Resource fair with educational sources, therapists, schools, recreational organizations, and creative
child-friendly activities -- a true “one-stop shop” for families affected by autism. For the fifth straight
year, Toys"R"Us® and Babies"R"Us® will serve as the North American sponsors of Walk Now for
Autism Speaks.
Autism Speaks is North America's largest autism science and advocacy organization. Since its
inception in 2005, Autism Speaks has made enormous strides, committing over $160 million to
research and developing innovative new resources for families.
