The 20th Annual Georgia Race for Autism will be held October 3, 2026 at the Gwinnett Fairgrounds, Lawrenceville, GA. This year’s event will include a 5K, 1-mile fun run, tot trot and 100-yard dash, silent auction, entertainment, fall festival and vendor/resource fair. Our last event drew a crowd of over 3000, plus 712 runners and 135 vendors! You want to be included!

Spectrum Autism Support Group is honored to invite you to become a sponsor or vendor for the Georgia Race for Autism and Fall Festival/Resource Fair 2026. As a sponsor, your organization or business will be recognized on varying levels of event marketing, including the official race website, www.GeorgiaRaceForAutism.com. This local, state and national visibility will showcase your support of individuals on the autism spectrum and those who are affected by an autism spectrum diagnosis.   

Recent reports from the CDC parent surveys state autism is now the fastest growing developmental disorder in the nation, with 1 in 31 children diagnosed yearly. With this staggering number comes a tremendous increase in the demand for services from Spectrum.  Your support will allow us to remain positioned to provide quality services to the many Georgia families touched by autism.   

Spectrum was established in the fall of 1998 to provide support, education and resources for individuals and families impacted by autism in our community. Spectrum serves over 2400 individuals with autism each year through camps, respite programs, social skills groups and family events. Support groups are offered monthly for parents of children with autism, siblings, and adults with autism. We continue to expand the programs we offer to meet the needs in Gwinnett County and surrounding metro Atlanta area with the funds raised from events like the Georgia Race for Autism.   

You can make a difference in the autism community by making a sponsorship commitment at any financial level. Thank you for considering the Georgia Race for Autism and Fall Festival/Resource Fair as an opportunity to make an impact directly within our Georgia communities.   

Sincerely,

Claire Dees
