Ready for some good time Walk and Roll?
Walkers, bikers, four-legged furry friends and wheelchair participants are invited to take part in Walk and Roll 2009 on Sunday, May 3.
The annual walk is a fundraiser for SCAMP, a Clarkston-based program providing a summer camp experience for children and young adults with special needs.
Participants can choose from one, two and five-mile routes.
T-shirts in hues ‘blue water? and ‘sandy shores?’to celebrate Michigan’will be given to each student walker with pledges of $50 or more, adults with pledges of $100 or more and families with pledges of $200 or more.
Prizes will be awarded for the most unique hat; other categories include youngest walker, oldest walker, and best decorated bike or wheelchair.
Dr. Charles Munk, a local orthodontist and SCAMP supporter, along with his staff, will serve as honorary judges for the event.
In addition, Clarkston State Bank support the walk by offering mini WALK shoes for $1.
Families can also support the walk by purchasing a lawn sign for $25 to show ?(Your Name) Supports SCAMP!?
All contributions are tax deductible.
