Friendship Circle’s Walking 4 Friendship is our annual community Walk that raises crucial funds to ensure our programs reach and support as many people in our community as possible. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit and we help children, teens, and adults with special needs by bringing them from isolation into community.
Our Walk begins with a fun and inspiring opening ceremony followed by a 3k family walk. At the finish line, Walkers can enjoy a post-Walk carnival complete with games, rides, and delicious food! We can’t wait to see you there!
