Step ALIVE! Walkathon
The 33nd annual Step ALIVE! Walkathon will be held on Sunday, May 4, 2014, to raise funds for ALIVE!’s Child Development Center (CDC), a full-day preschool program serving children of low-income working parents, with a sliding fee scale for tuition. This 5k or 5-mile (walker’s choice) stroll kicks off at 2:00 p.m. at First Christian Church, 2723 King Street, Alexandria, and ends at the same place. Join us afterward for a picnic featuring prizes and music by the Taste of Bluegrass band and Sixteenth Tabernacle A Cappella.
Register in advance or at the event on May 4 or call 703-837-9321 for a registration form. Each registrant receives a specially designed T-shirt. The fee for walkers ages 19 to 70 is $20, 12 to 18 and over 70 pay $5, and persons under 12 are admitted free. If you are unable to participate, there is a special rate of $25 for “virtual walkers.” On-site registration and T-shirt distribution will start at 1:15 p.m. For more fun (and more money for the CDC), form a team of family and friends or solicit sponsors to pledge support for your walk.
