November 17, 2024 – Wolfe’s Pond, Staten Island
CrimsonRise held its annual “Waterfront Run / Walk / Roll for Autism” on Sunday, November 17th, 2024. The event included a 5-Kilometer run and a 1-mile run, walk, or roll through Wolfe’s Pond along the waterfront.
The top three male and top three female runners in the 5-Kilometer race received prize money of $250, $175 and $100, and medals were awarded to all children participating in the run.
This annual event is more than a race; it celebrates the work we do every day to help nonspeakers communicate, and it is an opportunity for the community to come together in solidarity in support of those with autism.
