Autism Speaks was welcomed to the Santa Barbara community with open arms. Brian Kelly, who is a member of the Autism Speaks Board acted as Co-Chair.

Special thanks to Salud Carbajal, District 1 Supervisor, who attended and spoke. He has supported the Walk since the beginning and has done both our English and Spanish PSAs.
