Go the Distance for Autism
Descripción
Descripción
On Sunday, May 31, 2026, we will come together as a community to help change the lives of individuals with autism. Hundreds of participants will fundraise to support our mission, then gather to ride, walk, or run at Overpeck County Park. There's something for everyone at Go the Distance for Autism.
On event day, we need lots of extra hands during shift opportunities, 6:00am - 2:00pm, to help make the event a huge success. No matter where you're assigned and your volunteer role, you'll be building a brighter future for children and adults with autism in North Jersey.
Volunteer roles include: volunteer and participant check-in assistance, set up and clean up of areas, cheering on participants, exhibition assistance, food service, monitoring festival activities, and more.
