To our knowledge, there is only one other event like it in the world held in Maryland its time to bring the world record to Nelsonville, Ohio.

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 trained staff. All this is necessary to help battle a condition that now affects 1 child of every 110 (1 of every 70 males), and has grown a staggering2300% in Ohio since the last census..and we need your help! We are pulling a 270 ton train after all it takes a team!
Here is how ,the fund raising works!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 families, train staff, build resources and serve people who's lives can be helped with just a helping hand from you.
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 info@havar.org or phone 740-753-9101 and ask for Dave! See you there August 21st, 2010. Event starts 10 am. On Site-Registration begins at 9:00am.
