Support Baudhuin Preschool at Dan Marino Foundation WalkAbout Autism
The Dan Marino Foundation has teamed up with five South Florida autism agencies to create the Dan Marino Foundation WalkAbout Autism, benefiting the Autism Societies of Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, UM-NSU CARD (Center for Autism & Related Disabilities), FAU CARD, and the Dan Marino Foundation. This exciting and unique event will take place on Jan. 29, 2011 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the home of the Miami Dolphins, Sun Life Stadium.
Participating schools in South Florida will receive 25% of the money raised by their teams to support special needs programming in their school. By joining the Baudhuin Preschool team, a quarter of the proceeds raised will directly benefit the children attending the Mailman Segal Institute’s Baudhuin Preschool, serving children 3-5 years of age with an educational eligibility of autism, located on the main campus of NSU.
Driven by individuals with autism and their families and friends, this historic fundraising effort will generate crucial funds for the autism community of South Florida. All proceeds raised through this event will stay in our local community and benefit autism services, and awareness. Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disorder. According to the Center for Disease Control, 1 in 110 children in the United States have autism.
Celebrity walk attendees include:
- Dan Marino: Legendary Hall of Fame & Miami Dolphins Quarterback
- Rachel & Jeff Ireland, Miami Dolphins General Manager
- Alumni Miami Dolphins Players
- Miami-Dade and Broward County Elected Officials
- Local Celebrities as well as Local News and Television Anchors
