Stroller for a Cause Stroll-a-thon for Darfur
You are invited to take part in a fun and powerful Stroll-a-thon for Darfur with other incredible moms and their children (and family and friends) as we empower ourselves, our children and our community to raise awareness and money for Darfur, a region in Sudan , Africa where genocide is taking place right now. Darfur has been called the worst humanitarian crisis of the 21st century.
When: Sunday, November 5th from 9:30 – 11:30 am (rain or shine!). Registration will take place between 8:30-9:30 am, with the official kick-off for the stroll-a-thon at 9:30 am.
Where: Start/end at corner of Stedman and Harvard Streets in Brookline .
Minimum donation to participate is $25 for each stroller team plus a suggested $20 for each additional person and participants are encouraged to collect additional donations. All money raised will help Mothers and Children of Darfur thru My Sister’s Keeper. My Sister's Keeper is a women-led, women-focused, humanitarian action group based in Jamaica Plain that works to reintegrate war-torn communities in Southern Sudan. Donations are fully tax deductible (My Sister’s Keeper’s fiscal agent is certified as a 501(c)3 organization).
