I am a volunteer for AutismWalkNorthland. It’s a local grassroots program, dedicated to raising funds for local schools and their ASD programs. Due to some serious health issues for one of the founders, the walk is dangerously short on silent auction items. Since the silent auction traditionally generates a good portion of the walk’s revenue, this is a scary time for them.

The Walk donates 100 percent of its proceeds to the participating schools every year, and is seeking donations. Pretty much everything is accepted — gift cards, crafts, baskets, etc. If you or anyone you know would be interested in donating, please e-mail info @ autismwalknorthland.org. You can also find AutismWalk Northland on Facebook, or at autismwalknorthland.org.
