About Leap for Autism

Greystone Programs is celebrating its signature fundraising event on May 2, 2026. The 10th Annual Leap for Autism at Skydive the Ranch, a USPA-affiliated drop zone, will bring together participants, supporters and advocates in an unforgettable experience to raise awareness and critical funds for individuals and families affected by autism and other developmental disabilities. More than 40 participants will be skydiving at the event.

This year’s Leap for Autism is especially meaningful, marking a decade of “leaping” together for a great cause. The community can get involved by skydiving or cheering from the ground. Festivities include music, food trucks, face painting, local vendors and raffles.

Funds raised from the event will strengthen Greystone’s residential, day and community-based services, helping individuals live full, meaningful lives in the communities they call home. Participants who want to skydive can register at greystoneprograms.org/leapforautism. Registrants create profile pages with their fundraising goals and receive perks for achieving fundraising benchmarks at $500, $1,000 and $1,500. The total fundraising goal for the event is $85,000. The event is open to the public, and anyone not skydiving does not need to register.
