Southern California Empower Walk & 5K Run
The Southern California Empower Walk + 5K Run is a community fundraising event presented by Autism Speaks on October 3, 2026, in Silverado, CA. It takes place at Oak Canyon Park, 5305 Santiago Cyn Rd., and combines a community walk with a short road run to raise funds for autism research, advocacy, and family support resources.
The event program includes a Resource Fair where organizations share services and supports; a Friendship Bracelet Station called Words of Empowerment; a Superhero Sprint for participants of all ages; and a Mission In Action area highlighting Autism Speaks resources. The day also features games, entertainment, photo opportunities, and local community partners.
The campaign page reports $100.9K raised toward a $170,000 goal. The event lists both walk and 5K run options, along with on-site activities intended to connect participants with services and information for individuals and families affected by autism.
