SCHENECTADY, NY--Wildwood Programs, a Capital District organization that has supported people with autism, developmental disabilities, and other neurologically-based disabilities, for over 47 years announces its 16th annual Walk for Wildwood. Held at Siena College each year, this community walk benefits the Wildwood Foundation, the charitable arm of Wildwood Programs.  Ove 500 people, including individuals supported by Wildwood’s programs, Wildwood staff, the army of Wildwood pet therapy dogs, families and community partners participate in this noncompetitive two-mile walk.

Siena College will open its campus and its arms to the Wildwood community on what promises to be a beautiful autumn morning. Teams will compete in raising money and in participation from every part of the Wildwood family.  Everyone in the Capital District is invited to participate, come out and watch, or to donate to Wildwood to be part of this energizing and heart warming community-based event.

It is estimated that more than one in 88 children are born with autism or other developmental disability and Wildwood Programs has been a Capital District resource since 1967. In this day and age, fundraisers such as the Walk for Wildwood afford Wildwood the chance to keep its margin of excellence for its programs and all the special and unique things it does throughout the year. A strong Wildwood strengthens our entire community by helping people become more independent and through maximizing their potential. Wildwood also enables families to live more productively and with greater peace of mind knowing that their family member is receiving the very best in supports and services.

The Walk for Wildwood will be held on October 18, 2014 at Siena College. Registration begins at 9 AM and the walk is approximately 2 miles through the Siena College campus. You can sponsor the walk or donate to an individual walker or team by visiting www.firstgiving.com/wildwood
