FUNDRAISING
ACROSS MARYLAND
Pathfinders for Autism’s donors are integral to our mission. The generosity of individuals, foundations and corporations support our programs, enabling us to serve the autism community across Maryland. Special events (such as the Annual Golf & Pickleball Tournaments, Run Wild for Autism, Lift Autism, and Jazzercise for Autism) helps us continue to offer the opportunity to bring awareness to families while raising funds. Every dollar raised help us continue to offer our programs to the autism community throughout Maryland.
