The walk route is 1 lap around football field and 1.2 miles in the park on the blue trail.

We are collecting socks again this year.  Please bring a new pair of socks in memory of your person.  They will be donated to a local shelter after the walk.

We will be doing the picture fans this year - please bring a 4 x 6 picture of your person to put on your fan so they can walk with you.

Coffee, water, apples, donuts will be provided at no charge.

Pets are not allowed in the football stadium for the opening and closing ceremonies.  They are allowed in the park.

We are family friendly!  Enjoy our children's corner, face painting, and balloon animals.

We will have our photo yard signs throughout the park.  If you would like your person's picture to be displayed, please email the photo to winterbrooks.afsp@gmail.com by September 25th.
