East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania’s chapter of Autism Speaks U, a student organization that raises funds and awareness for Autism, is hosting a 5K walk/run on Sunday, April 19, beginning at 10 a.m. at Eiler-Martin Stadium. The 5K is a fundraiser for Autism Speaks U.
“We are dedicated to funding research into the causes, prevention, treatments and possible cure for Autism,” Maria Parri, a senior majoring in speech-language pathology from Shavertown, Pa., said. “We strive to raise public awareness for Autism and its effect on individuals and their families.”
Autism Speaks U has been a student organization at ESU for the last two years. Students joined together to change the future for all who struggle with an autism spectrum disorder, according to Parri.
“It is our firm belief that working together, we will make a difference,” she said.
This event is open to the public. Registration is $10 per person. T-shirts are $10 each. For students who present their ESU ID, registration is $5. For more information contact Maria Parri at mparri@live.esu.edu.
