Grand Club Members 
“When we first joined the walk, we were overwhelmed by how welcoming it was and we were so thankful to be part of it. Every year since, my family and I come up with ways to raise more funds and awareness of Autism Speaks Canada and the needs of people with autism. We now partner with our employer, Restaurant Piatti Pronto on a wine tasting event and have raised over $20,000. We are not only proud Grand Club members, we are also the top fundraisers for the Montreal Walk and it feels amazing. I encourage you to take your fundraising to a new level by asking your friends, family and colleagues to get involved.” - Sarah Taylor, Montreal (Grand Club Member since 2015)
