The 2006 NAAR / Autism Speaks "Walk For Autism" is an annual fund raising event staged by the National Alliance for Autism Research and Autism Speaks.  The event is held at the Coors Amphitheater in Chula Vista.  Hundreds of people showed up for a kid-centric event where participants walk a one mile course around the large parking lot.  The short distance ensures maximum participation by people of all ages.

Our great friends Jeff and Carlee Goodall have done this event for a few years and they had no problem convincing other club members that this would be a great way to spend a Sunday morning.  The Goodall's, aka Team Rhino Bar raised an unprecedented $20,000+ for the event, exceeding even the biggest sponsor of the event, (Papa John's Pizza)!

Jeff and Carlee brought the amazing Dormobile and they cooked fresh breakfast burritos and served cold beer on tap.

We turned the event into a mini car show too.  We had seven Panteras and a Tiger and as usual the cars brought smiles from kids as well as some of the parents.

Thanks to all those who partipated and/or donated, to the cause.  You should all be proud. 

This will surely become an annual event for the club, we hope for even bigger participation next year.

Fearless Leader Jeff managed to make the event even with a bum arm (he had shoulder surgery earlier this week)
