April 19, 2026 - Paws for Autism

Join CrimsonRise on Sunday, April 19, 2026 at 10:00 AM (registration at 9:30am) at Wolfe’s Pond Park for Paws for Autism, a fully inclusive dog walk/parade and fundraiser supporting nonspeaking autistic individuals. Whether in person or virtually, walkers of all abilities—individuals, families, teams, wheelchair users, AAC users, AND dogs—are invited to walk in support of communication access and inclusion.

With a dog-friendly walk/parade, vendor fair, music, and fun contests like Best Dressed Dog and Best Dog & Owner Duo, this event is a joyful reminder that communication is a right, not a luxury.

Registration is $20 for 6 legs (you + your dog!), $10 if you're joining us without a dog, $5 for every additional 2 legs. All proceeds benefit CrimsonRise’s programs empowering nonspeaking individuals through advocacy, access, and community.

Let’s walk together—because no one walks alone when community shows up.
