VIA’s fundraising efforts support the services we provide to children and families. We hold multiple major events during the year which provide a way for our larger community to engage with and support our services.

Run for Autism 5K
We had twice the fun in 2021 -- with a safely-distanced, in-person event at beautiful Panorama Farms on April 17th, and a virtual option with participants from as far away as British Columbia (!) over the weekend of the 17th and 18th. Check the social posts: #runforvia2021.
HUGE THANKS to the Murray family for making Panorama Farms host to our in-person event. What a rare opportunity to enjoy this beautiful cross country course. Check out the photos.
Winners of the prize drawing, fundraising prize, social spirit, and coloring page contests are posted along with race results on the race site: runforautism5k.org.

VIA Gala
In 2020, VIA's annual Gala was transformed into our Raise a Glass virtual viewing party.
We raised over $215,000 to support compassionate, effective autism services in our region.
You can watch all of the Raise a Glass event videos, including our heartwarming 2020 Gala video, on our VIA YouTube channel.
THANK YOU to everyone who participated. Special Thanks to our VIP Sponsors and our generous Supporters.
