Third Annual Hospice of the Sacred Heart Remembrance Walk Planned

More than 700 walkers will pause to remember their loved ones in a unique and special way at the 3rd Annual Hospice of the Sacred Heart Remembrance Walk Saturday, September 29th at McDade Park in Scranton. Registration begins at 8:30 am and the walk will kick off at 10 am. Andrew Brown’s Pharmacy is the presenting sponsor.

The pet-friendly one-mile walk around scenic McDade Park is appropriate for all levels of physical fitness. The $25 registration fee ($30 after September 12th) includes a pre-walk snack, a light lunch, and a t-shirt with a customizable pin-on bib, so participants can walk in memory of a loved one. Teams of five or more are $20 each and children 12 and under are free. There will be a DJ, basket raffle, gift card pull, balloon release and ice cream. Proceeds from the walk will help support Hospice of the Sacred Heart programs and services.

The event will begin with an opening prayer and WNEP-TV reporter, Stacy Lange, will start the walk. Diane Baldi, Hospice of the Sacred Heart CEO, will be available for interviews.

Those wishing to participate individually or as a team can register online at www.HospiceSacredHeart.org, by calling 570-706-2400 or at McDade Park the day of the walk.
