Continuing its mission to spread good vibes across the city and coast to coast, Life is good® has just added a high-energy fundraising walk, sponsored by Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, to its June 20, 2009 Life is good Festival on Boston Common.
The Good Walk for Kids, a scenic, three-mile family friendly walk begins on Boston Common, winds its way through Downtown Crossing, along the beautiful new Rose Kennedy Greenway, continues along the Harbor Walk’s ocean views, then returns to Boston Common to kick off the 2009 Life is good Festival. Walkers can expect surprises and fun to surface all along the route.
Funds raised through the Good Walk, donations onsite, and all profits from the sale of Life is good merchandise at the event benefit Project Joy, a nationally-recognized non-profit organization whose mission is to use the healing power of play to transform children impacted by violence, poverty and loss into healthy players in the game of life.
The Good Walk for Kids will kick-off at 10:00 a.m. Registration onsite begins at 9:00 a.m. For more information and to register, please visit www.lifeisgood.com/festivals
