RUN FOR TEAM NECC
Are you interested in combining your love for running and supporting NECC? If so, run for Team NECC! Throughout the year, we encourage runners to participate in running events, such as 5Ks and marathons, to support autism education and research. NECC applies to receive charity bibs from two top running events in the Boston area each year. We then offer the bibs to individuals who are dedicated to running and fundraising on behalf of NECC.
To learn more about eligibility and registration, contact Kim Ruscitti.
