2009 Walk Now for Autism

TEAMSTERS LOCAL 25 JOINS AUTISM SPEAKS THIS YEAR FOR THE WALK ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2009 HELD AT SUFFOLK DOWNS

So many of us from Teamsters Local 25 braved the cold temperatures, strong wind and rain that day circling the racetrack for Autism Speaks Walk!  Even the weather did not get us Teamsters down. Through the generosity of everyone who donated, the walk was a tremendous success.  We as a Family and Team raised $17,000.00.  We were proud to have walked with our brothers & sisters and their families for Autism.  After the walk we enjoyed a family cookout down at the Tractor Trailer School.

We hope we are making a difference for all of the families that are touched by Autism, especially our own members.

Thank you again for your show of support with this constantly growing disorder.  We, at Local 25, have become an essential piece to the puzzle and due to your efforts, we can make a difference.

Please watch for further information on our “Gala For Autism” to be held on Saturday, April 10, 2010. 

2008 Walk Now for Autism

The Autism Walk was held on Sunday, October 19, 2008 again at Suffolk Downs in East Boston..  Even though it was a brisk day, the turnout was amazing.  Our own Teamsters Local 25 Team had over 500 family and friends attending who walked sporting our blue shirts!  That day, we as a team, raised over $24,000.00.  After the walk, we had a great family day back at our new tractor trailer school.  We had moon slides, ice cream, popcorn, pumpkin decorating, baseball pitching and everyone was allowed to climb into our trucks! It was a great day enjoyed by all.

Local 25 would like to thank all of you for participating in this great event.

If you attended the walk, you know first hand how this disorder affects many families in our communities, including our own Brothers & Sisters.  In this uncertain economy we need to stick together now more than ever to make a difference and continue to do our part by raising funds to help ease the hardship many families coping with Autism face.

Please mark your calendars for our Second “Autism Gala” to be held on Saturday, March 28, 2009, at the Intercontinental Boston Hotel.
