 March 2010  LifePath Consumers Honored for Employment Achievement
Walk, Don’t Run, for LifePath!
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, walkers and donors helped LifePath raise $8,600 to support its programs and services for individuals with developmental disabilities. This year, LifePath’s goal is to raise $9,500! 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! Registration is now open! Sign up to support LifePath by visiting: http://www.walkforahealthycommunity.org/central/index.shtml.

The Sellersville Day Program Christmas Party was held on December 18th, 2009 at the Franconia Heritage Banquet and Conference Center. A good time was had by all with music from Elvis Presley (aka Davey Jay) as the consumers danced the day away to the rock and roll rhythm of Blue Suede Shoes. Balloon artist and magician Barry Weaver went table to table making wonderful balloon art sculptures of all shapes and sizes. We are already looking forward to next year!
