Support an event participant, make a one-time or recurring donation in honor of a friend or family member, or volunteer your time to help out.
Join us at Mohawk Harbor, Schenectady NY, at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 15.
Register today – then mark your calendar, tell your friends and family, and dust off your superhero costume.
Online pre-registration: $30

Each runner receives a special commemorative pair of Hero 5K running socks, featuring our brand-new logo.

So many lives are touched by autism – from a preschooler struggling to express herself, to parents helping an adult child find employment and live on their own. The ASGCR is a strong, involved community of autistic individuals, their families and caregivers, and dedicated service providers throughout the state. Your generous help is crucial to their support, and we encourage you to give in any way you can – sponsor or sign up for an event, donate funds, or volunteer your time. No contribution is too small.
The Autism Society of the Greater Hudson Region (ASGHR) serves individuals and families in 14 New York State counties as the local voice and resource for the Greater Hudson Region autism community. Through successful fundraising events and the generosity of our partners and supporters, we’ve been able to support the work we do on behalf of the autism community.
The funds we raise here stay here!
Our mission is to promote lifelong access and opportunities for people on the autism spectrum and their families so they can be fully participating, included members of their communities. We do this through advocacy, public awareness, education and compassionate support.
