Walking the Talk!

THANK YOU, BLAINE COMMUNITY!
A big THANK YOU to our Team Blaine walkers and the rest of the Blaine community for everyone’s amazing support with this year’s ACRS Walk for Rice! Team Blaine had a fantastic turnout on June 17th at Seward Park – with close to 50 walkers this year, we were the largest team walking on a misty Saturday morning to support the ACRS Food Bank.
At the closing ceremony, Team Blaine was recognized by ACRS as being in second place among all Walk for Rice fundraising teams for raising over $11,500! That is the most Team Blaine has raised in the nine years that I’ve been walking in the Walk for Rice – WAY TO GO!!
Our donations will help ACRS to provide culturally familiar food for low-income seniors and families for many months. ACRS has not yet reached their $325,000 fundraising goal, and they will still be accepting donations during the summer, so it’s not too late to donate to Team Blaine and the Walk for Rice. Thanks so much for your support of this important community resource!
Justine serves as the captain for Team Blaine for this year’s ACRS’ Walk for Rice.
