Paddle for Autism Awareness

Saturday, August 1st:

The Global Autism Project is a non-profit organization that works with children with Autism in developing countries, providing both training and resources for affected individuals. The fundamental belief that all children with Autism and their communities deserve effective resources guides all of the Global Autism Project’s work, as well as the belief that education leads to understanding and acceptance of differences.

Every summer in cities around the country the Global Autism Project holds the Paddle for Autism Awareness event. This signature fundraising event pairs experienced kayakers with children with Autism and their friends and family for a unique opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and raise both money and awareness for Autism around the world. The NYC Paddle will be held this year at Valentino Park in Red Hook, Brooklyn on August 1st from 10am-4pm.  There will be exhibitors and lots of fun activities for kids and adults, with or without Autism! Visit our website at http://globalautismproject.org/paddle and click on the “Register to Paddle” tab to sign up to participate.  There is no cost to kayak.
