2021 Race for Hope Sets Donation Record

Every year during Autism Awareness Month (April), Grant a Gift Autism Foundation holds  their annual Race for Hope 5K. While the race has been a staple in the Las Vegas community for over a decade, it has had to transform into a virtual event over the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Even with the hurdles a virtual race can bring in terms of registration and participation, this year’s event, the Race for Hope 2021 presented by iSocial, raised the most donations in race history. In total, $130,000 was raised to help improve the odds for children living with autism in Southern Nevada.

Over 350 people ran, walked, biked, and hiked wherever they happened to be to help children and teens with autism live healthy, successful, and amazing lives.

Thank You To Our Sponsors

In addition to individual race participation and donations, meeting and exceeding our goal would not have been possible without our incredibly generous and supportive sponsors. Thank you to these Las Vegas community organizations who stepped up to the starting line to help us surpass our fundraising goals:

Resource Fair

The Race for Hope would not be complete without holding our annual resource fair during race-day packet pickup! Grant a Gift, providers, and community partners that benefit individuals on the autism spectrum were on-hand to educate racers and GGAF clients about the resources and support programs available to families. Thank you to the providers and community partners who were at this year’s Family Resource Fair!

See You Next Year - In Person!

With Governor Sisolak’s recent announcement that Las Vegas will be back to full capacity by June 1st, we are thrilled to announce that the Race for Hope will be back to an in-person race in April 2022! Mark your calendars now and we look forward to your support next year.
