More than 1,200 walkers are expected to pause and remember their loved ones in a unique and special way at the Hospice of the Sacred Heart Remembrance Walk Saturday, on September 28 at McDade Park, Scranton. The Wright Center is the presenting sponsor. Registration begins at 8:30 am and the walk will kick off at 10 am.
The pet-friendly one-mile walk around scenic McDade Park is appropriate for all levels of physical fitness. The $25 registration fee ($30 after September 6) includes lunch and a long-sleeve t-shirt with a customizable pin-on bib, so participants can walk in memory of a loved one.
Teams of five or more are $20 each and children 12 and under are free. There will be a DJ, basket raffle, children’s activities, a ceremonial bell ringing and ice cream. Proceeds from the walk will help support Hospice of the Sacred Heart programs and services.
The event will begin with an opening prayer by Msgr. Thomas M. Muldowney, Pastor, Saint Catherine of Siena Parish, Moscow, and WNEP-TV anchor and reporter Stacy Lange will start the walk. Hospice of the Sacred Heart CEO, Diane Baldi, will offer brief remarks.
Those wishing to participate individually or as a team can register online at www.HospiceSacredHeart.org, by calling 570-706-2400 or at McDade Park the day of the walk.
