"Help Thy Neighbor" Walk
Sunday October 5th, the Federated Church and the Homes Connection will co-sponsor a Walk-A-Thon themed, “Help Thy Neighbor” to benefit the Ashland Emergency Fund. This year, the goal is to raise $20,000, all of which is used for emergency funding. The registration is $15 per person, $30 per family and will include a T-shirt. Until Sep 15, 2008, extra T’s may be ordered at $10.00 a piece. We hope you will join us (rain or shine) for a walk through Ashland to support this worthy cause. Registration will begin at 8:00, and the walk will begin at 8:30.
This year the walk will offer two routes: a 1 mile or a 5 mile option. It will begin at the Stone Park Pavilion on Summer Street and will end there with coffee and a bagel.

Walk-a-Thon Information:
How do I get involved?
Our annual walkathon is a fun and fit activity for the entire family. It is a five mile walk through town. It starts at the pavilion at Stone Park and ends at The American Legion for bagels, juice & coffee. Last year we raised $14,000.00. Our goal this year is $20,000. The AEF is a local charity helping Ashland folks in need on a temporary basis. 100% of the funds raised are for helping others. The walkathon committee is made up of members of the community and The Federated Church of Ashland..
Step One
Get a group together or your family or just yourself and complete the registration form and mail or take it to The Homes Connection, 91 Main St. or The Federated Church, 118 Main St. Ashland, MA 01721 along with the registration fee. Make checks payable to “Walk-a-thon for AEF”.
Step Two
Start collecting contributions. Use the contributions form to keep track of your contributions. The contributions will be collected when you check-in prior to the walk. Tee shirts can be picked up at The Homes Connection starting October 1st or at the check-in on Oct. 5. Tee Shirts are for registered walkers only.
Step Three
Check-in will start at 8:00 a.m. at the pavilion at Stone Park. You may start walking immediately after. Please bring your money and contribution sheet to the check-in.

Remember…..
No running or jogging will be allowed. Walkers are encouraged to wear hats and sunscreen if it’s sunny or bring rain gear if it’s rainy.
This event doesn’t have a rain date. We reserve the right to cancel in extreme circumstances. In that event, there will be no refunds, rather, your registration fee will be used as a donation to the Ashland Emergency Fund.
