Run On Kindness, A World Autism Day Fundraiser

Lace up for a cause at the Run On Kindness, A World Autism Day Fundraiser, set to take place on Sunday, April 5, 2026, in Union, New Jersey. This inspiring event welcomes runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to participate in either a 5K or a 1-Mile distance, uniting the community for a powerful mission. Participants will gather at Kean University, located at 1000 Morris Avenue, to contribute to World Autism Day awareness and directly support The Deron School of New Jersey. The Deron School is dedicated to providing a nurturing and structured learning environment that empowers students with special needs to achieve their highest potential for independence and success.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 58F and lows near 37F, alongside a modest 14% chance of precipitation, creating a comfortable spring atmosphere for the event. This gathering is more than just a race; it's a vibrant display of community spirit, heart, and a collective effort to make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals with autism. Every step taken helps provide supplemental educational materials and experiences for students, enhancing their social, psychological, and educational journeys.

The Run On Kindness fundraiser is a heartwarming opportunity to enjoy a morning of activity while making a significant impact. By joining this uplifting event, you'll contribute directly to The Deron School's mission and help foster a supportive environment for students to thrive.
