Local Event Information Join us for Easter Seals' 6th Annual Walk With Me event! On the evening of Wednesday, June 16, 2010 join us at the beautiful John Ball Park and Zoo as we walk to raise funds for Easter Seals' life-changing therapies! Pre-event, all participants will have an opportunity to meet some of the children of Easter Seals. Hear from them and their families about the positive impact Easter Seals has had in their lives. On-Site registrations begins at 5:00 p.m., and refreshments and festivities will occur before the walk. The Walk will be kicked off by the sponsors and ambassadors at 6:30. Walkers will circle the perimeter of John Ball Park and in and through the zoo. After the Walk, you are invited to stay and enjoy the zoo for a private after hour event where the zoo will be open for Walkers and their families and a yummy desert too. A minimum of $50 is the fee to participate in the Walk (excluding children). This fee can be a personal donation or raised by personal fund-raising. For that nominal fee, you receive a Walk With me T-Shirt, food, refreshments and your own private pass to the zoo for the evening. John Ball Park and Zoo is conveniently located at 1300 Fulton Street, West - only five minutes from downtown Grand Rapids. Parking for the event is free and easy...you simply park in the zoo parking lot and head over to the registration area just outside the zoo entrance. Thank you for getting involved and helping Easter Seals - Michigan. We are very proud that 94 cents of every donated dollar goes to direct services for people with disabilities! Ready, Set, Go!!! Lace up those walking shoes and join us...it's easy and fun and you are helping those with disabilities achieve independence! What greater gift could you give?
