Walk This Way Event Sat March 21st

“Walk This Way” will be held March 21st at the Coaling Town Park from 9am to 12pm. We named it this to remind us to walk in the ways of the Lord by being obedient to His call to learn to do good, love justice, defend the orphans and widows and help the needy as described in Is 1:17. This is an event that will raise awareness of the need for foster care and adoptive families in Tuscaloosa County. Participants will solicit pledges/donations to walk laps around the walking track at the park. Our goal is 300 for 300- to walk a total of 300 laps for the approximately 300 children in Alabama awaiting adoption. There is a small entry fee of $20 for adults and $15 for children, with discounts for multiple family members, for which you will receive a “Walk This Way” T shirt and a “Defend the Orphans” promotional bracelet. Of course anyone can come and walk and just bring in their donations/pledge money without paying the entry fee if they do not want a T shirt and bracelet. There is also a bake sale being held under the park pavilion. All the proceeds go to help meet needs of the Tuscaloosa County children in foster care. We will have an official dedication ceremony at 10:00am at the park pavilion. We will have informational booths on site from DHR and Alabama Mentors to give information to interested parties about foster care and adoption. The event will be held rain or shine. In the event of rain we will move to the gym at Coaling Baptist Church. We have pledge cards and sign up sheets ready. You can go ahead and order your T Shirts and bracelets early. If you need any of the forms, want to place an order, want to be a sponsor, give a donation or have questions please call Lauree at 205-792-3515. If for whatever reason someone cannot make it to the walk they can still give donations to that fund as it will be on going. I want to challenge each of you to take a stand for the orphan by taking a walk for foster kids March 21st. Challenge your Sunday school classes, youth groups, women’s ministries and children’s ministries to either come and walk or sponsor walkers.
