CrimsonRise will hold its annual “Waterfront Walk / Run / Roll for Autism” on Sunday, November 17th, 2024. The event will include a 5-kilometer run, 1-mile run, 1-mile roll, and a 1-mile walk through Wolfe’s Pond along the waterfront. To participate, runners, walkers, and rollers need to register; the fee is $45 for adults and $30 for students. All participants will receive a commenorative bib and t-shirt. There is no charge for spectators, who of course are always welcome for no charge and greatly appreciated.
This event is more than a race; it celebrate the work our participants, supporters, and staff perform every day to help nonspeakers communicate. The race is an opportunity for the autistic community and other communities of nonspeakers to come together and show their solidarity with CrimsonRise’s mission of giving nonspeakers a voice.

Honoring Nick D’Amora
Nicholas D’Amora, was a cofounder of CrimsonRise and a fierce advocate of the truth that autism is often a motor and sensory disorder rather than a cognitive one. His tireless efforts to raise awareness and to break down barriers will always inspire us. We remember Nick for his commitment to never leave a nonspeaker (nonverbal) behind.
Honoring Mark C. Vogt
Mark directed CrimsonRise’ inaugral Waterfront run/walk and helped make the event an overwhelmingly successful event. His kindness and dedication to our cause will never be forgotten. Mark was a renowned Staten Islander, active in SIAC, Knights of Columbus, Kiwanis Club, and especially Complete Race Solutions. He loved photography and meteorology, and especially running. He served many nonprofit and community organizations, especially Staten Island runners.
