The second annual Statesboro Walk for Wishes to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Georgia and Alabama is set for Saturday at 10 a.m. at the M.C. Anderson Multiplex/Recreation Activity Center (RAC) on the Georgia Southern University campus.
Make-A-Wish supporters hope to raise $10,000 to grant the wishes of local children with life-threatening medical conditions.
Walkers can participate individually or team up with family, friends, classmates and co-workers. The course is a 1.07 mile loop around the multiplex, starting and finishing at the Pavilion.
A finish line celebration will feature music and refreshments. Pre-registration is encouraged, and participants can sign up as a team or as an individual. Donations for individuals are $15 per person ($10 if you are a student), $30 for a family of four, and teams are encouraged to raise a minimum of $100 in pledges. Registration is also welcome at the event.
To register, contact Linda Edwards at (912) 352-3550 or ledwards@ga-al.wish.org.
