Lives In Bloom Gala

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From all of us at Walker, to everyone who helped make the 2013 Lives In Bloom Gala a tremendous success.

This year's Gala raised more than $375,000 for Walker programs — funds that will go directly to support the children, teens, and families that turn to Walker for help.

Your support, enthusiasm, and advocacy made this year's Gala a joyous celebration of the Walker mission.

We are indebted to our wonderful Gala Committee - led by co-chairs Anne Nadeau and Laurel Lyle - for their leadership and guidance.

Thank you, especially, to the Hamels and all Walker families, who demonstrate courage and resilience in the face of extraordinary challenges. To hear more about their stories, watch this year's Lives In Bloom video.

Once again, thank you for all that you do for Walker.

We gratefully acknowledge the Lives In Bloom Gala sponsors:

Mark and Carolyn Ain ·  The Thorndike Family · Pete and De Simone
