Hello Everyone,
I am requesting the presence of all of your organizations again for the ANY BABY CAN- Fiesta Family Autism Walk on April 18th. (View Poster, HERE) Last year , we had a wonderful turn out and great representation by the Holy Cross community. I am hoping that we can do it even better this year. Below are the organizations that I am hoping can attend and help. I believe we will be taking care of the halfway point snacks and waters like we did last year. We would also like as many kids as we can to volunteer so that the below groups can perform if possible. Please let me know if there is any group that I am missing.
Thank you,
Coach Salas
