The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul needs students to participate in the 5th Annual Run/Walk. Friends of the Poor Walk is a National Program coordinated by the Development Team at the National SVDP Office. The inaugural event took place in 2008 with the purpose of providing local Conferences and Councils the framework to host an event that would raise funds for their Conference or Council. The event has grown each year, attracting over 18,000 walkers, raising over $1.4M with over 1,000 Conferences and Councils participating.
The walk starts and finishes at St. Joseph Church in Wilmington. Student pledges are on only $5.00 and all funds are used for people in need. For more information please call St. Joseph Church at 302-658-4535, Lynne Betts at 302-629-3591, or visit the website.
If your parish youth ministry is hosting a fundraiser open to the wider community, please email the information to CYM and let us advertise it for you.
