Approximately 100 individuals celebrated the $1 million success of the 2007 Pittsburgh Walk Now for Autism event by attending the 8th Annual Awards Reception on Thursday, September 20, 2007 at the Churchill Valley Country Club. Corporate sponsors, team captains, volunteers, individual fundraisers and committee members were welcomed by Autism Speaks Executive Vice President of Fundraising and Operations, Glenn Tringali, who presented co-chairs Rick Murray and Craig Hendrick with a small token of appreciation from Autism Speaks.
Appreciation and thanks were given to all who helped Pittsburgh realize a 52% increase in fundraising revenue in just one year.
