Walk & Roll Highlights

Baked goods and fruit for breakfast, a brisk 2-mile walk/roll through a scenic park, games and prizes for children, a picnic lunch with family and friends, and live music by the CODE, what's not to love about the annual Walk & Roll for Spina Bifida! Over 800 came together on Saturday, September 26th to kick-off Spina Bifida Awareness month and support individuals and families living in the tri-state. It was a cool, foggy morning, but the rain let up just in time to start the festivities.

Kobe's Krusaders
was once again the top fundraising team, bringing in $4,700 by the morning of the walk. Look out Kobe, you had some tough competition this year with Landyn's League and Baylee's Band close behind. Hunter's Heroes brought the most participants to the walk (after Kobe's Krusaders) with 45 braving the damp weather. The prize for the most creative fundraising page went to Madelyn's Wild Walkers whose inspiring and information-filled page included a cartoon drawing of Maddy that was also screened onto their team shirts. Congratulations to our award winning teams!

SBAC is dedicated to advocating for, educating, and supporting individuals with Spina Bifida, but we can not do it alone. The Walk & Roll provides much of the funding necessary to continue programming each year. Our deepest appreciation goes to our corporate spon­sors, and the family, friends, neighbors and co-workers who walked, rolled, volunteered and donated this year. Your participation truly makes a difference!
