August 2020

After continuing to consult with local officials, and in an abundance of caution, Autism Society - The Heartland made the decision to CANCEL or POSTPONE all in-person August 2020 events. We are exploring options to reschedule the events and provide virtual options. Our physical office at the KU Edwards Campus will remain closed throughout the entire month of August.

THANK YOU to our current 5K/1K Fun Run Sponsors!
