Hello Everyone!
It brings me great pleasure to invite you to our 6th Annual Walk for Warmth on October 6th, 2019. This year we have officially renamed our walk after the late Karen Stedman.
This year we have added an exciting twist to our walk, a spectator ferry ride! We have also included the scenic Highline, where we will be walking through gardens, experiencing an impromptu street performance or two and seeing our city from a unique perspective.
Last year our Walk for warmth raised over $20,000 for sleeping bags and socks for the homeless.
Despite the rising cost of sleeping bags, we were able to collect and distribute over 600 sleeping bags to families in Brooklyn and Manhattan. We couldn't have done it without you!!
I've attached the proposed walk for your review. Please save the date as we look forward to you joining us that day. Join us for a part of, or the entire Karen Stedman Walk for Warmth 2019.
Yours Faithfully,
Tariq
