Change Shoes, Change Lives: The Walk for Walker
The Walk for Walker and Fun Fair took place on Sunday, 
September 23 at DeFazio Park in Needham.
Our third annual event raised $50,000 for Walker programs that provide intensive special education and therapeutic environments for children and teens.
Hundreds of you participated in the Walk through the streets of Needham, while others came to enjoy games, raffles, the magic of Bonaparte, music from the Plugged In Teen Band, delicious food provided by Not Your Average Joe’s, Sweet Basil, and Stone Hearth Pizza Co., and ice cream from J.P. Licks.
We were delighted to celebrate with more than 500 Walk participants! Thank you to everyone who joined us this year – your participation made this year’s Walk the best yet!
Check back with us for next September’s date. We hope you’ll change your shoes and help us change lives once again!
