CASA of the 8th Judicial District will host a Walk for a Child to raise awareness and support Dickinson, Geary, Marion, and Morris Counties’ vulnerable youth
Our Walk for A Child event will take place from September 1 – 30. To kick off this event they are hosting a morning walk on September 1st at 9:00 a.m. The walk will take place at South Park in Junction City. The intent is to raise awareness about child abuse and raise funds to help local abused children
The rest of the event is virtual where all participants are asked to walk 100 miles during the four weeks of the event. This is only 7,000 steps each day. The CASA Walk for a Child is a virtual journey where you as well as other athletes, friends, family, and community members can connect and compete in distance traveled and funds raised over the month of September.
By participating in the Walk for A Child event you will help raise awareness about Child Abuse in the local community. Registration opens and the event begins on 1 Sep. People can register as an individual or as a team. There will be random prizes given out as well as a prize for the top team and the individual race winner. Fitness trackers can be used to count your steps or activities (i.e., CrossFit workouts, exercise classes, weightlifting, etc.). In addition, you can simply submit their workouts manually.
The fundraising goal is $3000 for the event. For more information contact 785-762-3907. To register on September 1st go to www.charityfootprints.com/walkforachild.
