What Is the Handleman Walk for Autism?

The Walk is a fun family event for all ages!  In addition to a walk through the beautiful gardens of Rutgers' Douglass Campus, the Walk features live music, food, childrens' activities, a silent auction and more. The event raises funds for children and adults with autism and celebrates the life’s work of autism pioneer Dr. Jan Handleman (1951-2008). It is both an important fundraiser and a great day of family fun.

All are welcome and all get a gift for participation!

Where Do the Proceeds From the Walk Go?

All proceeds from the walk go to the Douglass Organization for Occupational and Related Educational Services (DOORS) associated with the highly esteemed Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center (DDDC) in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

DOORS and the DDDC are both 501(c)3 organizations and donations are tax deductible.

What Is DOORS?

DOORS is a parent-run, all volunteer organization whose sole purpose is to support the Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center in New Brunswick, NJ. DOORS provides resources to help children and adults with autism thrive and grow including: Access to quality care from professionals, recreational opportunities to have fun with peers and skill building programs to maximize independence.

Although these programs are essential to the students of the DDDC, they are often not covered by traditional funding. That's where you can help - by supporting the Handleman Walk for Autism, you are supporting these DOORS sponsored programs at the DDDC.

Thank you for supporting the DDDC...and don't forget to join us on Sunday, November 6, 2016.  See you at the Walk!
