Host an Event

Autism Speaks has a proud tradition of supporting grassroots initiatives to raise awareness and funds. You can join that proud tradition by hosting an event in your community. Event ideas include dinners, auctions, poker runs and dine-to-donate nights as well as smaller scale events such as car washes and dress down days. 

  1. Host your own Wrap-Around event for your Carolinas Walk Now for Autism team
  2. Participate in or start a local Student Club for Autism Speaks
  3. Organize a Puzzle Piece Campaign in your community
  4. Start an online fundraising campaign through your Walk team in the Carolinas Walk Now for Autism
  5. Apply to host an Autism Speaks event, which includes use of our name and logo. You must enter into a Third-Party Letter of Agreement and abide by all guidelines and insurance requirements.
  6. Partner with Autism Speaks for an event. Typically these events are on a national basis and raise over $250,000.  For the partner events, a commercial co-venture agreement is necessary.

Before you start, please contact us so that we may assist you in your efforts.
