On Saturday, November 14, 6,000 people joined the sixth annual Orange County Walk Now for Autism Speaks at Angel Stadium of Anaheim, California. The event raised $290,000.
The Orange County Walk had an outstanding lineup of donated entertainment. Pinch Me! performed many tunes, including “Calling All Angels” to kick off the Walk. A designated “Kid Zone” featured bounce houses, balloon and face painters, a video game truck, and display F-16 and race cars. The second annual Grand Club offered high fundraisers a loaded goody bag, personal masseuse, caricature drawings and special Autism Speaks cake. The highlight of the day occurred when walkers were able to see their own faces on the Jumbo-tron upon entering Angel Stadium.
Special thanks go to mother and daughter Walk Chairs Diane Vitto and Lauren Christ-Vitto for the success this event. Read more about the Walk here and become a fan of the Orange County Walk Now for Autism Speaks on Facebook.

Michelle,
Let me know what walk you have interest in and I will forward you more information. As far as costs, none of our walks have a mandatory registration fee. We ask participants to raise money – no amount is too small. Thank you. Patty
