Hope for Autism Walk 2012
Saturday May 12
Hardaway High School Track
Over 100 people braved threatening skies to attend the Autism Walk, and were rewarded by good weather and fun. Diane Pope - President of the Autism Hope Center - opened ceremonies with an invocation by Dr. Mike Knowles, Pastor of Waldrop Memorial Baptist Church and then Debbie Anderson sang the Star-Spangled Banner. People with autism took turns leading the walk by carrying the AHC banner followed by walkers including the Springer Academy stilt walkers. The children’s activity area and face painting were popular attractions. Representatives of Columbus Speech and Hearing, Easter Seals, Muscogee Sports and Phenix City TaeKwonDo Academy answered questions while attendees enjoyed pizza donated by Papa John’s. When you patronize our sponsors and supporters be sure to thank them for their contributions to our programs.
