As much as we all enjoyed our premiere fundraiser and the beautiful walk with our friends and family, from Captain’s Cove through St. Mary’s by The Sea, we have met an additional challenge of bringing our community together in a safe way for our 19th Annual Walk to End Homelessness. We are creating a virtual walk culminating with an exciting virtual special event sponsored by Star 99, WEBE, WICC and The Patterson Club.
All our friends, family and members of our community will design and complete their walk on their own time, with donations and support from family and friends. We’re excited to share walk routes and pictures, which will inspire all of us. We are asking walkers to complete their Walk before October 3, 2020 to accommodate our exciting signature event. To participate in the 19th Annual Walk Challenge please click to register. If you can please send pictures and videos of your walk to walktoendhomelessness@gmail.com.
Our Silent Auction is live Friday, Sept 25 – October 3 5:55pm. We have great items available – Getaway Weekends, Restaurant Gift Cards and more. Please register and submit your bid.
