Join "Team UA" for the Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community on May 22!
Uplifting Athletes is pleased to announce their participation in the 2010 Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community presented by Highmark Blue Shield on Saturday, May 22, 2010, at City Island in Harrisburg, PA. We are participating in the walk because it gives us the opportunity to raise funds to support our programs.
The Highmark 5k Walk/one-mile Fun Walk is an annual event where the community is encouraged to walk for Uplifting Athletes as one of the supported organizations. Each donation to Uplifting Athletes goes directly to our organization to aid in our mission to align college football with the rare disease cause. All costs are underwritten by Highmark, allowing 100% of donations to go directly to the participating organizations.
As an organization we have committed 100 walkers to be part of "Team UA" for this event. Mark Saturday, May 22, on your calendar. Start gathering friends, family members, neighbors and co-workers to join you/us to raise awareness and funds for rare disease. Should the date and location not be good for you, consider being a "Virtual Walker" - collect pledges and walk with us in spirit. There is no minimum donation required to participate, but each walker must raise or donate a minimum of $25 to receive a t-shirt.
