14th Annual Race for Hope 5K Welcomes 760 Participants & Raises $120,000 for Grant a Gift
On Saturday, April 22nd, the Grant a Gift Autism Foundation - Ackerman Center held its 14th Annual RACE FOR HOPE 5K at Town Square Las Vegas. With one of the largest attendance records in recent history of 760 participants - both in-person and virtual attendance - and 22 vendors providing valuable information to the community, the walk exceeded goals and raised over $120,000.
“Thank you to all the wonderful supporters who joined us for the Race for Hope 5K this Autism Acceptance Month,” said Brian Hager, President of Grant a Gift Autism Foundation – Ackerman Center. “The funds raised at this year’s race will help us continue our mission to provide comprehensive clinical services, resources, research, education, and advocacy for individuals and families living with autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions.”
Major sponsors for this year’s event included the Vegas Golden Knights, Gaudin Motor Company, and UFC. Their support, combined with the proceeds from the Race For Hope 5K, will go towards care, support, therapy, and social programming at the Ackerman Center so that we are able to help families in Southern Nevada receive necessary services when insurance does not cover the full cost.
Thank you as well to Findlay North Centennial Hills, Desert Parkway Behavioral Healthcare Hospital, Southwest Gas, and GBank for your support and sponsorship.
