…Captain: Captains lead and build Teams through recruiting, encouraging Walker fundraising, and serving as a liaison between their Team and Autism Delaware. 

 

…Walker: Walkers raise money for their participation in the Walk, which gets the word out about autism and Autism Delaware with every request for a donation. Walkers who raise at least $100 will be eligible for prizes for their hard work!

 

…Volunteer: there are lots of volunteer opportunities before and on Walk day! Contact our Volunteer Coordinator Judy Hedrick at judy.hedrick@delautism.org for more information.
