WALK FOR DEVELOPMENT
The Grimsiey High School
parking lot will be the kick-off
point and final destination for the
MILES FOR CHILDREN WALK
which will commence at 8:15 a.m.,
Saturday, April 22 (rain or shine).
MILES FOR CHILDREN is a
20 mile walk to raise money for
the March of Dimes in its battle
against crippling birth defects.
'The 20 mile trek will be endured
by “walkers” who receive dona
tions from a number of sponsors,
each obligated to pay the walker
a certain sum of money for each
mile walked. Each participant in
the walk is checked at the rest
stations situated every four miles
along the route.
After the walker has completed
his march, he returns to each of
his sponsors with a checkpoint
validation card and collects the
amount agreed for each mile
walked. The money is then sent
to the March of Dimes, 109 Wil
son St., by May 8.
Awards will be given to the
walker who turns in the most
money collected from sponsors
and to the person having the
largest number of sponsors. A
TV set and a cassette player are
the chief prizes.
Anyone (all ages encouraged)
willing to join the march should
fill out the MILES FOR CHIL
DREN WALK entry form and
should start seeking sponsors, who
are required to meet the mini
mum pledge of 10c per mile.
WALK FOR CHILDREN
A 23 mile route has been de
signed for the Walk for Develop
ment (Hunger) slated for Sat.,
April 22. All marchers will begin
and end their journey against
hunger at the GHS parking lot.
Each marcher is asked to seek
sponsors who pay various amounts
for each mile walked. Rest sta
tions supplying entertainment
and refreshments will be located
along the way.
Reasons for the Walk are two
fold: (1) to raise funds for anti
poverty and self-help projects,
and (2) to educate the commun
ity about development problems
and possible solutions.
This Greensboro experiment is
part of a much larger program
sponsored by The American Free
dom From Hunger Foundation.
The AFHF was created to stimu
late greater public understanding
and support for worthwhile proj
ects to combat the root causes of
hunger and to promote this en
deavor both in the U.S. and
abroad.
