The
2006
Hands and Hearts Walk-a-thon for Autism and Family Fun Day kicked
off at 10:30 a.m. on September 23, 2006, at
Bristol Community College. The
event benefits
Community Autism Resources and supports their mission to provide
vital services to families at no charge. The event featured activities
including one-on-one basketball, a bubble creation station, and Music
with Marcy
Gregoire of Community Autism Resources in Freetown. The
heart-healthy walking route took participants down Elsbree Street to
President Avenue, continued to Ray Street, and returned to the campus
via Langley Street, five kilometers altogether. Teams from across the
region raised money and walked the route. Before the day ended, the
winners of two free registrations for the
ASD Symposium in Providence were announced, as well as two Patriots
tickets which were auctioned off. |
