Walk for Autism
One in 44 children nationwide will be diagnosed with autism this year. In Bexar and surrounding counties, over 30,000 individuals are living with autism. That means that you or someone you know has a close connection to a child or individual who lives with autism and whose diagnosis are challenging their daily lives.
Founded in 2003 with 200 participants, the ABC of Southwest Texas Walk for Autism has grown into an official Fiesta® event bringing together over 10,000 participants and community partners from San Antonio, Bexar County, and South Texas to provide services and support for families raising individuals on the spectrum. All proceeds stay local to fund critical, one-of-a kind programs at ABC of Southwest Texas.
The Walk for Autism is ABC of Southwest Texas’ most meaningful and fastest-growing official Fiesta® San Antonio event and a critical fundraiser that ensures families are never alone on their autism journey.
We believe every child with autism deserves the opportunity to thrive, and every family deserves informed, compassionate support, especially when the path feels overwhelming.
