PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD AND RAISE FUNDS IN THE
23rd ANNUAL FREIHOFER’S COMMUNITY WALK ON
SATURDAY, JUNE 4th
Individuals Needed to Walk
on Behalf of Interfaith Story Circle of the
Tri-City Area!
Interfaith
Story Circle is presently recruiting volunteers to participate in the 23rd
annual Freihofer’s Community Walk slated for Saturday, June 4th,
2011 at 12:30 p.m.
The event, which begins and ends outside the New
York State Museum, provides an opportunity
for more than 60 regional non-profit organizations to raise funds
through walk pledges. Last year's Community Walk netted $43,000 for 64 regional
charities.
Many local organizations have come to depend
on the Community Walk- a 1.86 mile loop that
begins on Madison Avenue and proceeds around the Empire State Plaza and Lincoln
Park- as a major fundraiser. This year, the Interfaith Story Circle will
participate for the first time!
Funds raised by walkers
at this year’s event will be used toward funding the seventh year of the
Children at the Well youth interfaith storytelling program, which builds
bridges of trust, fun, and understanding in the Capital Region by training
local youth of many different religions and cultures in the art of
storytelling.
There is no fee for entry
in the Freihofer's Community Walk. Walkers are encouraged to register online at http://www.freihofersrun.com/cw_registration.cfm.
Be sure you indicate that you are walking for the Interfaith Story Circle- organization
# 374. On June 4th, all walkers must check in at the Community Walk
registration area located on the Concourse Level of the Empire State Plaza at the
bus terminal (in front of the main cafeteria) starting at 10 a.m. T-shirts will
be given to the first 1,000 walkers who arrive, and all participants will
receive a delicious box of Freihofer’s chocolate chip cookies.
“This year’s Community
Walk features a brand new online giving portal (freihofersrun.com/cwportal) for all
participating non-profits,” said Event Director George Regan.
“The portal is playing an important role helping walk participants streamline
their donation collection efforts.”
Free event parking is
available at the East Garage located on the corner of Eagle Street and Madison
Avenue. The garage can be accessed from I -787 via the Plaza Exit. Follow the signs
to East Garage parking. From the Madison Avenue Exit, turn
right onto Eagle Street and then enter the garage on the right.
