The Fraser Walk for Autism has been refreshed and rebranded into the Fraser Festival for Autism, presented by Central Roofing Company. The goal of the Fraser Festival remains the same, to support Minnesotans with autism and raise awareness and acceptance in the community.
We invite you to join us at this unique family- and sensory-friendly event, which features food, giveaways, therapy animals and our Sensory Support team — a group of specially-trained volunteers who support individuals with sensory sensitivities. The event will include a drive-thru parade of activities for individuals to enjoy from the safety of their vehicles.*
In Minnesota, 1 in 44 children will be diagnosed with autism. Navigating a diagnosis can be challenging, but families don’t have to do it alone. Fraser provides resources and services to help every family achieve success — however they define it. All funds raised at the Fraser Festival for Autism will allow us to sustain and grow our programs to reach even more families.
To ensure a safe and fun experience for all participants, we will conduct the event in two waves. Please REGISTER TODAY to reserve your time slot.
WAVE TIMES:
8–10 a.m.
10 a.m.– noon
If you have any questions or concerns regarding wave times, please contact events@fraser.org.
