| We don't have to tell you that it's been a very difficult and stressful year so we're very excited to share some great news! Despite the financial impact COVID-19 has had on our supporters and the Walk having to be virtual, we exceeded our fundraising goal! We reduced this year's goal to $50,000, but we're thrilled to share that we raised $62,295! We're very grateful to our walkers, sponsors and donors who made this possible!
