110 North Indian Street
Tuscumbia, Alabama 35674
Every Piece Matters is committed to providing educational resources and training to local school districts and educators . We believe in fostering an inclusive and supportive community that empowers individuals with autism to reach their full potential.
The money raised helps us to be able to donate to special education programs each month. We are given wishlists from teachers. These are items that are needed for their classrooms that will help those that are on the spectrum in the classroom have a better school experience. Wishlist items vary from year to year. Each school requests different things such as touch screen chromebooks/tablets, games to help them with their feelings, swings, sensory lights, and much more. The funds also help with our scholarship fund which is given to one Autistic Senior each year.
This will be a fun event. We encourage runners/walkers to dress up in your favorite costume if you wish. There will be an award given for the best costume. The course will start at the Tuscumbia Roundhouse in Tuscumbia, AL and around the town. After the race, awards and food will be given so please stick around.
We give special trophies that you will never find anywhere. As a matter of fact, they are one of a kind. We have children on the ASD spectrum paint rocks. Yes, you read that correctly. They get to be artists and let their creativity shine.
The race will begin at 8:00 for the 5K runners so please be there ahead of time to get checked in. The race for the 1 mile runners will begin at 9:15 so please come early to get checked in.
