The Autism Acceptance Celebration is a community-wide event dedicated to raising awareness, promoting acceptance, and supporting individuals with autism. This year’s event will also serve as a fundraiser for Kalos Academy, a specialized school for children with learning differences and neurodiversity.

We’ll kick off the morning with our Kaleidoscope Color Run, ending right at the park where the celebration begins! After the run, families and participants will enjoy an afternoon filled with food, music, vendors, and fun activities for all ages. We will also be drawing for the winner of $10,000 for our Bright Futures Raffle!
