For Those Walkers out There...
If you fancy a good walk - not to mention a good cause - come on out to the Arthritis Walk on May 20. Find out about the walk and after-party so you can participate in all the fun and fundraising this event has to offer.
Held in Sawyer Point on May 20, the Arthritis Foundation's local
chapter will hold a fun-filled fund-raising event: The Arthritis Walk.
The walk is a non-competitive, fully accessible 5-kilometer (3.1 miles)
course with a one-mile option for those who wish to walk a shorter
distance. The path is accessible for wheelchairs and strollers.
Corporations, families, service organizations and many others will hit
Sawyer Point to walk for a cure.
And, the fun doesn’t stop once you’ve crossed the finish line. Be sure
to stick around for the post-walk celebration featuring entertainment,
lunch, sponsor booths, Wall of Heroes and valuable health information.
The goal amount to raise is $135,000 and the goal attendance is 2,000
walkers. Participants collect donations to help fight arthritis, the
nation's number one cause of disability. It is a great way to get
involved in your community, meet new people and improve lives by
supporting the mission of the Arthritis Foundation. Remember, all the
walk proceeds stay locally!
“The Arthritis Walk is our signature event raising both awareness and
funds for people living with arthritis. The money raised at the
Arthritis Walk goes toward supporting mission driven programs and to
fund research for a cure,” says Barb Precht, community development
director, Ohio River Valley Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation.
You can join as individuals or form a team. Anyone can be part of a
team—family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, clients, etc. The more the
merrier!
