Inaugural Nantucket Walk Kickoff
Autism Speaks is proud to be hosting the Inaugural Walk Now for Autism event on Nantucket this summer. The kickoff for the August 25th Walk at Jettie's Beach was held on June 30 with over 140 people in attendance. Both the summer and year-round Nantucket community attended the event, to learn more about bringing the Walk Now for Autism to Nantucket to raise both critically needed funds and awareness for autism spectrum disorders.
