Walk, Don’t Run, for LifePath! LifePath will be participating for its second consecutive year in Highmark’s annual Walk for a Healthy Community. The date of the walk is Saturday, June 13, 2009. It will be held rain or shine. Registration begins at 7:45 a.m. The 5K Walk begins at 9 a.m. and the One-Mile Fun Walk begins at 9:15 a.m. The Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community is the annual fundraising walk that benefits local health and human service agencies in the Lehigh Valley. Highmark Blue Shield underwrites the cost of the walk so that 100% of the money raised by walkers goes to the participating organizations. Last year, over 130 walkers and 420 donors helped LifePath raise almost $15,000 to support its programs and services for individuals with developmental disabilities. This year, LifePath’s goal is to raise $20,000! Won’t you please help?? The primary goal of the walk is to help participating organizations raise money for their individual missions. The secondary goal of the walk is to energize community members to have a greater hand in their health by becoming or staying physically active.
The 5K Walk will start and finish in Historic Downtown Bethlehem. The walk tent will be situated at Main and Lehigh Streets. The walk route will go across the Fahey Bridge to South Bethlehem and back via the Hill-to-Hill (Rt. 378) Bridge. All registered walkers will receive a Walk for a Healthy Community T-shirt while supplies last. For every $50 that you donate to participating organizations, you will receive one chance for raffle prizes valued at more than $500. Teams, sponsors, walkers and donors wanted!
