Circle of Care

First Annual
~ Walk to Remember ~
Saturday, May 15, 2010
10:00-2:00pm
Come walk with us around the beautiful Lake Merritt on this day dedicated to honor and remember the special people in our lives who are living with illness or have died.
Everyone is invited to participate in support of Circle of Care.
It is easy to register, create a personalized memorial web page in honor of or memory of your loved one, and invite your friends and family to support your walk. You can also join an existing team of walkers (browse the list of supporters), or if you are unable to attend the walk you can create your page and a Circle of Care volunteer will complete the walk for you. Some may choose to create a personalized page symbolizing your unique connection to Circle of Care (program participant, volunteer, supporter of the services).
Your participation and support of this event will help raise funds that will enable Circle of Care to continue to provide much needed illness and grief services to children and families in the community.
