Royal Ball Run for Autism is an organization in the Quad Cities. This organization is near and dear to All Saints Lutheran Church. There are several fundraisers and activities scheduled during the month of April which is Autism Awareness Month.
Proceeds from the Royal Ball Run and Royal Ball for All will be used to support local autism programs and promote autism awareness in the Quad Cities area.
Donations through All Saints
All Saints Lutheran Church will be collecting money for Royal Ball Run for Autism during April & May. All Saints members and friends have done this in the past so that All Saints Lutheran Church’s name is published as a Royal Supporter on the back of the Race and Volunteer tee shirts in June.
Please write your check out to All Saints Lutheran Church and note on the memo line “Royal Ball Run”. If you prefer to give cash, please make sure the envelope has “Royal Ball Run” on the outside of the envelope with your name. All Saints Lutheran Church will write one check at the end of May to Royal Ball Run.

OUR ROYAL MISSION
We are parents, friends, family, and autistic community members seeking to a) raise autism awareness and acceptance in the QCA, b) connect families to local resources, and c) help autistic young people reach their full potential.
The inspiration for the Royal Ball Run for Autism organization stems from the now 1 in 36 children who are diagnosed with autism each year. We will be running to celebrate their achievements, their courage, and their future!
Our goal is to increase awareness of autism and to support (and celebrate!) families and children touched by autism. Proceeds from the Royal Ball Run for Autism support local programs dedicated to autism treatment and awareness.
In our first 14 years, the Royal Ball Run for Autism has invested nearly $400,000 in local autism programs thanks to the tremendous support of our participants, partners, and sponsors. In addition to local autism programs, Royal Ball Run for Autism has developed a Quad City area autism resource guide, The Royal Guide. Click here to view.
Volunteers are always needed for the various activities/events hosted by Royal Ball Run
