The Good Shepherd Alliance is hosting our 5th Annual Walkathon on Saturday, September 19, 2009. Our Walk through historic downtown Leesburg promotes community awareness of the needs of the homeless and near-homeless in our community. We want to stand together as individuals, businesses, churches and community organizations to express that we will help each other and understand the need to be unified in our efforts to support each other.

This year’s event promises to be an enjoyable family day with many fun family activities following the walk including a moon bounce, face painting, animal balloons and a free grilled hot dog lunch. You can come, bring a blanket and have a nice family day.

We want to ask you to consider sponsorship of our Walkathon this year through

• Personal or business sponsorship opportunities
• Promoting the event with your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers
• And by getting others to sponsor you to walk with us.

There are numerous opportunities for sponsorship from $100 on up.

Registration forms can be downloaded at LoudounHomeless.org.
