Join ECLC of New Jersey's Third Annual Walkathon on Oct 21

The community is invited to walk with ECLC of New Jersey's students, adult clients, alumni, families, staff and friends and show their support for special needs on Sunday, Oct. 21! Register today.

Every step will raise much-needed funds for the ECLC Foundation. Without extra dollars from the Foundation, ECLC could not offer weekend, overnight respites, after-school programs and trips for students at the Chatham and Ho-Ho-Kus schools or continue to grow adult services, Community Personnel Services (CPS) and the P.R.I.D.E. program.

ECLC is a nonprofit providing "Education, Careers & Lifelong Community" to more than 800 children and adults with lifelong challenges, including autism, Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities.

ECLC needs your support to make this Walkathon a big success. Become a walker, start or join a team, invite friends, raise donations, become a sponsor or volunteer to help that day!
