Procede Software recently supported the 14th annual San Diego Race for Autism on Saturday, March 24, 2018. A group of Procede employees, spearheaded by Support Services Manager Sadaly Zendejas, donated money and participated in a 5K run/walk at Balboa Park in San Diego to benefit local autism support efforts.
100% of the funds raised at the Race for Autism go to local autism programs, services, outreach efforts, parents support, and education initiatives. The event is organized by NFAR, an organization that helps in the development, expansion and support of autism programs and services that improve the quality of life for children and young adults with autism.
Thanks to support efforts such as the Race for Autism, NFAR has awarded over 1.5 million dollars to Autism Community programs and to 600 classrooms across San Diego County.
The 2018 San Diego Race for Autism marks the fourth year Procede employees have come together to support autism research. Sadaly’s team, EJ’s World, was one of the top three largest teams of supporters, which included Procede Software team members both at the event and participating from afar. Procede employees who couldn’t attend the event due to their attendance at the ATD Show contributed by walking for Team EJ’s World in Las Vegas, the show’s location.
