Join BOWA for the 13th Annual Autism Speaks 5K Run – 1 Mile Walk

Autism Speaks With one week to go, I am running full speed ahead as Sponsorship Chair for the Autism Speaks July 4th 5K Run – 1 Mile Walk, presented by BOWA.  This year marks the 13th Anniversary of the Autism Speaks 5K, and BOWA’s 10th year as a key sponsor.  Thanks to the ongoing support of all the generous sponsors, donors and participants, the race has contributed over $2.5 million to Autism Speaks.

This community oriented event is for both competitive runners and families with children of all ages, and is a wonderful start to Independence Day.

Consider joining the Richie’s Racers team, in support of my son Richard.  Richie’s Racers will be running in at least three different locations on Thursday, July 4th!
