Event Information
Argus and The Centre on Philanthropy have once again teamed up to present "Walk the Walk", the annual 5K charity walk that let's each participant be a donor to their chairty of choice. All you have to do is go to www.racedayworld.com and sign-up as an individual or as a member of a team.
The entry fee is $25 and $20 of that will go the Bermuda registered charity you choose on your entry form. The remaining $5 goes to support www.volunteer.bm, The Centre's online resource that pairs charities with the volunteers that need them most. In fact, after you register for Walk the Walk you could go straight to www.volunteer.bm and connect with your charity. Give them time and money!
