23rd Annual Ride For Autism Chicago

Join us for the 23rd Annual Ride for Autism Chicago as hundreds of motorcycles take to the road on a 60+ mile scenic ride to help provide outstanding opportunities through education and recreation for children and adults with disabilities.

In 2023, the CDC reported that approximately 1 in 36 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Now, in 2025 it is estimated that about 1 in 31 children are diagnosed with ASD. That is a 16% increase in just two years, highlighting the growing need for early intervention, support services, and community resources for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities.

Your support helps the Special Leisure Services Foundation (SLSF), a 501c3 organization, and the fundraising arm of Northwest Special Recreation Association (NWSRA), provide vital programs that serve individuals from early childhood through adulthood, including therapy, recreational activities, and adult day services that enhance quality of life every step of the way.

PRE-REGISTRATION FEES (online) - $30 participant ticket. (Participant = Rider, passenger and after party attendee) - Must purchase online by midnight 9/5/25.

DAY OF REGISTRATION FEES - $35 participant ticket. (Participant = Rider, passenger and after party attendee.)
