Hi everyone! My name is Acaro Ward, and I’m raising money for a cause that means a lot to me.

Organization for Autism Research

OAR’S mission is to apply research to the challenges of autism. We strive to use science to address the social, educational, and treatment concerns of self-advocates, parents, autism professionals, and caregivers. The mission of “applying” research to answer questions of daily concern to those living with autism defines our goals and program objectives and shapes our budget. In addition to funding research, our mission includes the requirements to: - Disseminate new and useful information to as many members of the autism community as possible, and - Direct all research and programs initiatives toward enhancing the quality of life for individuals with autism.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact. Even just a few dollars can help move this mission forward and reach those who need it most.

If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It means the world to me.
