MAKING A ROYAL DIFFERENCE

The inspiration for the Royal Ball Run for Autism organization stems from the now 1 in 36 children who are diagnosed with autism each year. We will be running to celebrate their achievements, their courage, and their future!

Our goal is to increase awareness of autism and to support (and celebrate!) families and children touched by autism. Proceeds from the Royal Ball Run for Autism support local programs dedicated to autism treatment and awareness.

In our first 11 years, the Royal Ball Run for Autism has invested nearly $400,000 in local autism programs thanks to the tremendous support of our participants, partners, and sponsors. In addition to local autism programs, Royal Ball Run for Autism has developed a Quad City area autism resource guide, The Royal Guide. Click here to view.

We’re here to help

Whether you’re a parent wondering if your child has autism, a teacher looking to support students, or a veteran caregiver, The Royal Guide, brought to you by the Royal Ball Run for Autism, is designed to help you navigate local autism resources and area service providers.

The Royal Guide can connect you to places where individuals on the spectrum are supported, loved, encouraged and understood.
