The event is completely funded by local sponsors, and all funds go to Central Georgia Autism.

Janet Ward is the President of Central Georgia Autism, she says everything down to their logo represents their cause.

"Just in our logo, the curves, and the hills and the winds and the turns -- autism doesn't go away, even when a child turns into an adult, it's there for life, and there's a lot of hills and a lot of valleys and there's turns," said Ward.
