The search is on for the Angels Walk for Autism 2017 TShirt Design!

Autism Society Philippines has been creating unique tshirts for Angels Walk for Autism participants since the walk first began in 2007. These shirts which were designed as souvenir items back then, have metamorphosed to icon shirts which reflect the aspirations of our community.
