ASTORIA, N.Y., April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Singles from across the tri-state area will meet for QSAC's annual walk/run for autism on Saturday, May 5, 2012 with the walk beginning at 10 a.m. in Astoria Park. CharlieTheMatchmaker (www.CharlieTheMatchmaker.com) will host the gathering of singles – men and women, straight and gay – to raise autism awareness in the community while providing a fun environment for singles to meet and mingle.

Singles can register for the 5K walk/run for autism for just $25, and join CharlieTheMatchmaker's Love Team, online at http://qsac.com/steps. All singles that join CharlieTheMatchmaker's team will receive color coded optional name tags on the day of the walk/run.

Married couples are also invited to participate in this year's walk/run. We encourage families and friends to create their own teams to help increase autism awareness – moms and dads with strollers, grandparents, and the whole family are invited to join us to support QSAC's work in the community. Corporate teams are also welcome.
