Hundreds Help Raise Funds, Awareness Of Autism
The annual “Walk for Autism” drew approximately 250 people to Leighton Elementary School and the nearby Wilber Field on Saturday afternoon. Besides acting as a fundraiser, the event, sponsored by the task force, also focused attention on the plight of Autism victims in Oswego County. “The number (of walkers) was down from past years. That has to do with the bad weather. But we can’t control that,” said OCATF president Theresa Familo. “The participants were just as dedicated as ever.”
