Join the Movement. Be Inspired.

Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC) is excited to celebrate YES Day for Autism™ with our supportive community on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024! Leading up to our in-person event, we encourage our community to register in advance to help raise funds, awareness, and acceptance!

Everyone is invited and encouraged to join our efforts: families, friends, partners and the community at large who are driven by a desire to create more supportive, inclusive communities for people with autism.

Sunday, October 27  |  Tempe Beach Park  |  9 a.m. – Noon

Leading up to YES Day for Autism on Sunday, Oct. 27, teams are encouraged to raise funds by engaging their personal network of family and friends to support SARRC’s goal of being able to provide support and access to families across our state. Importantly, all dollars raised will be kept in Arizona for Arizona.
