Hocking Valley Train Pull to raise funds for Autism What is the Train Pull? The train pull consists of twenty people grasping a rope to see how fast and far they can pull a real, of live, working, locomotive built back in 1952!!! Each pull is truly an attempt for a new world record!! To our knowledge, there is only one other event like it in the world held in land … its time to bring the world record to ville, Ohio. Why... That's simple, to raise funds for the people who have autism and other developmental disabilities. For now there are too few services in South East Ohio and families have to travel too far to get the help they need. HAVAR INC has committed to changing that and creating new services, facilities and staff training. All this is necessary to help a condition that now affects almost 1 child of every 160 and has grown a staggering 2300 % in Ohio since the last census…..and we need your help! Here is how the fund raising works! Each team consists of twenty members, men and women alike, of all ages. Each member is asked to raise a minimum of $25.00 dollars for the entry fee, (This is a minimum.) A complete team entry fee is only $500 dollars. All funds that are raised stay in Athens and surrounding counties and are used for local citizens. We are learning how to make a real difference. The Train Pull and the money raised will help educate, train, build and serve people whose lives can be helped with just a helping hand from you. How can you help It’s easy, you can choose to enter a team from your office, or you may choose to sponsor some of your friends, family or associates. If you wish to become a sponsor contact davidm@... or phone 740-753-9101 and ask for Dave! www.letspulltogether.org OCECD Trainings around Ohio The Ohio Coalition for the Education of Children with Disabilites offers a variety of trainings throughout Ohio.
