LACONIA — The 2nd annual Autism Center Walk-a-thon will be held on Saturday, May 19, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., on the WOW Trail in Lakeport.
The Autism Center is part of the Family Resource Center of Central New Hampshire, 635 Main St., Laconia, which is operated by Lakes Region Community Services. The Autism Center’s mission is to create a learning environment that helps parents to encourage, educate, support and advocate for their child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
The Autism Center Walk-a-thon is being sponsored by Syl Lapierre Masonry, Kara L. Stanley, CRPC® and Train 4 Autism.
All are welcome to join in the fun and groups are encouraged to register as teams. This is a family-friendly event. Strollers are allowed on the WOW Trail. Participants can ask friends, relatives and neighbors to sponsor them with a donation to LRCS, which will be specifically targeted to funding the Autism Center.
Registration will begin at 9 a.m., at the entrance to the Wow Trail, on Union Avenue, by the Lake Opechee Inn & Spa. Pledge sheets and donations can be turned in on the day of the event, or walkers may register in advance.
Participants who would like to collect donations online may register with Train4Autism.org. For more information or to have a pledge sheet sent, contact LRCS Family to Family Coordinator Karen McDowell at 524-8811, ext. 172, karenmc@lrcs.org.
