On Sunday, April 26th the Maine Autism Institute’s Family Partnership team joined over 500 people in Bangor for the Autism Society of Maine’s 13th Annual Walk for Autism. Together, families, friends, and individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), raised over $35,000 at the Bangor walk to support family services at the Autism Society of Maine; our team raised $770!  At last count, more than $53,000 had been raised statewide at the multiple walking sites!  Many thanks to the Family Partnership members who joined us on Sunday, and to their families and friends who contributed to this successful fundraising event.
