Important Notes
Join us for our 5th annual Coldest Night of the Year walk. Many people missed having an in person event last year!
The idea of gathering together and taking off from the start, the energy and the excitement of doing something fun while contributing to a great cause in our community.
Others enjoyed walking when they want, where they want and with who they want in their own smaller bubble. We received many videos of you out there in the cold celebrating the good you are doing.
We heard you, and we aim to please so this year you can sign up to do the event YOUR WAY. We are in this together!
