Yes I Can students, alumni and supporters are seeking sponsors to raise money for every lap they walk. The event also provides the Yes I Can kids a chance to socialize outside of their classroom environment.

“Every year students in the Yes I Can program defy autism by showing us just how powerful a tool music and the arts can be to unite people with differences,” said singer-songwriter Ebony Rae Cunningham, an organizer of the fundraiser.
