2007, 2008 and 2009 WALKS

 

We had our first walk in April of 2007.  We managed to plan and coordinate the first walk in just a few months, thanks to the help and encouragement of our close friends and family.  We were thrilled at the turnout that first year...we had over 300 people, and raised over $17,000.  The majority of these funds were donated to the National Meningitis Association and the Meningitis Angels.

The second year was just as successful as the first, even though the weather was a bit chilly and windy.  Again, we enlisted the help of many friends and family.  We raised over $18,000, and were again proud to donate the majority of these funds to the National Meningitis Association and to Meningitis Angels.

 

Our third walk was held on April 25, 2009 and the weather cooperated fully, with sunshine and warm "summerlike" temperatures.  Again, with the help of many friends and family, it was a great success.  We estimate that we had about 150 walkers, and we raised in excess of $15,000, the majority of which were again donated to the National Meningitis Association and Meningitis Angels to help them continue their important work.

We added some new events to our walk, including musical entertainment provided by Davis Concert Staging, Inc.; free massages provided by Rizzieri Salon; a hockey "shoot out" provided by Steve and Matthew Richardson; and a gift basket raffle.
