GRIP's 23rd ANNUAL HARMONY WALK
THIS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2009
Civic Center Plaza, 26th and Nevin,
Richmond
Registration and Rally begin at 8 a.m.
The Harmony Walk begins at 9 a.m.
Free refreshments, music, and a prize
drawing for walkers!
Each year, hundreds of community members
gather for an inspirin g
rally, walking together to fight hunger
and homelessness in the Greater Richmond
community.
Accompanied by the El Cerrito High
School Marching Band, the 3.3 mile
Harmony Walk will begin and end at Civic
Center Plaza. It will take us along the
upper Macdonald corridor and Barrett
Avenue, from 22nd to 42nd Streets.
Each year, the Harmony Walk brings new
visibility to the homeless while raising
critical funds to support GRIP's Family
Housing and Supportive Services Center.
Our 2009 goal is to raise over $200,000.
Join us! When you ask your friends,
families, coworkers, and neighbors to
support your Walk with us, you will help
hundreds of homeless and hungry
individuals and families to take a step
toward a better life. |
