Heroes Walk for Life set for October

FALLBROOK – On Oct. 3, Fallbrook Pregnancy Resource Center (FPRC) will host Heroes Walk for Life; a two-mile pledge walk at Live Oak County Park in support of the moms, dads, and children in their programs.

Their goal this year is 50 volunteers to assist with the walk and 200 participants walking and raising $48,000 in underwriting, sponsorships (food, t-shirts, prizes, games, etc.), and pledges from the community.

Heroes Walk for Life (registration at 8:30 a.m. and the walk at 9:30 a.m.) provides a morning of fun, food, games, etc., where all ages are welcome, especially the little ones (free Super Hero capes for babies/toddlers and children under 10)! Something the children will especially enjoy is, Lucy, the center’s five-foot-tall giraffe mascot which will also be participating in the walk.

There will be face painting, gunny sack races, bounce houses, balloons, etc. All participants raising $150 or more in pledges will receive a Heroes Walk for Life t-shirt and potentially other prizes. The participant or team leader raising the most pledges wins a Family of 4 Disney Pass. Participants are encouraged to raise pledges, but it is not required.

Event registration and sponsorship forms are available at www.fprcforlife.com/Events/FPRC-Heroes-Walk-for-Life.

FPRC encourages families, churches, small groups, play groups, businesses, etc. to create teams and to enjoy the morning together. A free team leader kit including a t-shirt, super hero cape, brochures, registration forms, a poster and a video for use in groups is available at the center at 113 E. Hawthorne St.

A team leader lunch is scheduled for Aug. 10 at noon at the center. To register for the lunch or for more information and/or to volunteer for Heroes Walk for Life, contact Carolyn at [email protected] or (760) 728-4105.
