LifePath's Participation in Highmark Blue Shield's 2008 Annual "Walk for a
Healthy Community" an Overwhelming Success!
LifePath was one of 13 Lehigh Valley area non-profits who participated in Highmark’s 4th annual Walk for a Healthy Community in Downtown Historic Bethlehem June 14, 2008. Since Highmark Blue Shield underwrites the cost of the walk, 100% of the money raised by walkers supports the participating groups who are each responsible for raising their own funds.
More than 130 walkers gathered under the tent at Main and Lehigh Streets early that Saturday morning to support LifePath’s first year as beneficiaries of the event. Walkers were asked to gather pledges for LifePath to support their participation in the event and did they ever! More than 420 generous donors helped LifePath to exceed its original fundraising goal of $7500, raising almost $14,500 to support our programs and services for individuals with developmental disabilities! Thank you to Highmark Blue Shield, everyone who walked, donated, solicited pledges and volunteered their time to make our participation in the walk such a tremendous success!
