Does my registration fee count towards my fundraising goal?

If you have registered to walk with a team, your registration will count towards your overall fundraising goals.

If I've already registered do I need to check-in the morning of the walk?

Yes, all walkers must check-in on Saturday morning. At check-in, participants have the opportunity to turn in any additional donations, sign waivers, and register (if necessary). If you are already registered, you will need to pick up your official Zoowalk T-shirt (if applicable) and a wristband that designates you as a Zoowalk Participant.

People have asked me for a receipt. What should I do?

For donations over $500, as long as a name and address accompany the donation (such as on the donor's check), the donor will get a letter from the Autism Research Institute that will serve as a receipt. You can also download a receipt as part of the fundraising tools available on this website.

What if it rains?

The walk goes on rain or shine.

Are pets allowed to accompany walkers along the route?

Unfortunately, pets are not allowed at the Zoowalk because the path winds through the Phoenix Zoo.
