The mission of this 1st Inaugural 2K Walkathon is to bring awareness throughout our community that we are One, and we stand and walk together on the prevention of gun violence and the impact it has on our community, families, and children. The goal is to bond together to find solutions and not be part of the problem, and bring healing to families who lost their loved ones to Gun Violence in our community. We encourage all families who lost their loved ones to Gun Violence to make a poster board picture of their loved ones to send a powerful message to our community that enough is enough. A balloon release and prayer will end our community gathering, remembering and healing.
