The Walkabout Education Foundation (walkabout.org) is a non-profit organisation whose mission is to advocate and expand challenge-orientated, experiential education programs. This time-tested approach to education provides students with a sense of self-confidence, community, life skills and core values at a critical and transformative time of life. We are a network of alumni, parents, educators and supporting foundations who believe that these programs empower individuals to dramatically improve themselves and the world around them. The 36 year old BOCES Walkabout Program is slated to be terminated. We need to raise $250,000 to keep the doors open, gain awareness, and look into opening other programs like it in the future. Please come and picnic with us and other supporters. Live music, family fun, great prizes and a 5K race. If your interested in sponsorship opportunities, donating raffle prizes, volunteering or being a vendor please email Walkabout5K@yahoo.com For more information and online registration visit www.active.com/5k-race/yorktown-heights-ny/walkabout-5k-2013 and please show your support by signing up on Walkabout.org
