Donned with visors and buttons bearing the Shriners Hospitals name, over 350 people walked, used wheelchairs, wagons or strollers at our 85th Birthday Celebration Walkathon. A simple, yet festive BBQ was held in the hospital’s backyard with clowns, lively music, face painting, volleyball and a roving magician. The participation was well over what was expected being the first time we held a walkathon. Nearly $17,000 was raised.
