🌧️ RAIN OR SHINE — WE’RE STILL ON! 🌧️

The All Abilities One Community Killeen Autism Walk is happening this weekend — and nothing is stopping us!

Autism doesn’t take a day off… and neither do we. 💙

This event is about community, connection, and celebration — and we are showing up for our families no matter what the weather brings.
We are ready. We are excited. And we are NOT letting anyone down over a little rain.

☔ To support our community, Texas All Abilities Network will have 200 rain jackets available if needed.

All Abilities. One Community. United—rain or shine.

💃 Let’s dance in the rain together!
