Thank you for supporting the BLADE Recovery Walk!

An estimated 200 people attended the Recovery Walk on Sept. 21! There was a great crowd enjoying the resources, food, festivities and the walk. We lucked out with perfect weather and the beautiful setting Kiwanis Park offered with the lake, paved trail, and the playground for all the children! Vendors went above and beyond with the donated door prizes that created additional excitement for all who attended,

thank you for your contribution and continued support!
