5/2/13 - The community is being invited to step into the season with a 24-hour walk-a-thon this weekend. Teen Center Co-Director Tim Church says the kids really have a desire to get more active and lead healthier lifestyles so all proceeds will go toward opening up a fitness room at the teen center. He says a teen advisory board was started up at the center and the kids raise funds throughout the year for different projects, with the goal in mind of providing a safe and healthy environment for middle and high school kids. He says they decided to host a walk-a-thon that begins at noon this Saturday and will conclude at noon on Sunday at Page Field, located behind the Barnard Center in Howell. Community members are encouraged to donate funds but Church says it would be great if people could try and make time to come out and walk with the teens to show their support. He says the kids are dedicated and everyone will be out, rain or shine, so long as thereâs no lightening. For those that canât make the event but would still like to donate are able to do so at the teen center or by mail. Complete details can be found below and online updates will be posted during the walk-a-thon. (JM)
