In 2022, LifePath’s Walkathon celebrates 30 years of bringing together community members whose efforts provide for older adults, individuals with disabilities, and caregivers served by our agency. Each year we are so proud of this effort that is anchored in goodwill for LifePath and the work we do.
Our plan is to be together on Saturday, May 7, outside, at LifePath’s office at 101 Munson Street in Greenfield (provided it still feels like a safe option as the date draws nearer). Whether you’ve wondered how you can help or are ready to jump in for another year, here’s how to participate in this milestone year:
We depend on each other each day and when we stand together, we change the lives of more people.
Businesses
Sponsorship is the backbone of this event. If you’ve been a sponsor – come back! Or join for the first time! This year’s sponsorship opportunities will start at $250 and feature an option to be with us on event day – bring your table, tent, and materials demonstrating your commitment to LifePath and this community. Come be recognized as a company that cares about the quality of our lives as we age in this community.
Community Organizations
We depend on each other each day and when we stand together, we change the lives of more people. Because of this, we want to celebrate our partnerships. Like sponsors, we’re looking for you to join us on event day. Help us tell the story of why this collaborative community is a great place to grow older together.
Teams, Individual Fundraisers, and Donors
We can’t say it enough – you are the heart and soul of this event. It’s time to gather your team members, call on your donors, and do what you do: craft and send email messages, make phone calls, and walk! Asking and giving may again be done through an online personal fundraising link, through the website, or by using donation sheets. Share your activity on social media (Facebook! Instagram! Twitter!) to secure more support. Our hope is to have the majority of teams return and secure new teams from schools, social organizations, businesses, and more. (Know someone looking for a great project that will keep them moving?) We are so grateful for your spirit, effort, enthusiasm, and generosity.
When Walkathon participants take on responsibility for the well-being of people they do not know it is a remarkable outpouring of humankindness. Our agency and those we serve gratefully receive your gestures meant to combat loneliness and enable others to maintain their dignity and independence through services and support.
The Walkathon is a reflection of LifePath’s relationships with other agencies – individuals or groups sharing resources to provide the best options for someone seeking to find or extend their independence. We want to display and express our gratitude for the beautiful synchronicity that exists in this community.
Help to make our 30th year one to remember! For more information about the 30th annual Walkathon event, please visit the Walkathon homepage on LifePath’s website. Updates to the webpage will be ongoing.
Here we go!
