Upcoming Charity Walks/Races/Tournaments
It's that season again. In the spring/summer, many charities depend upon walkers, runners and even bowlers to help them raise money for their causes. These walks/races can be great fun for families, churches and other groups. Here is a list of upcoming charity walks/races in the Muskegon area.
Walk America (a 5 mile walk) is a fundraiser for the March of Dimes. The walk in Muskegon will be held on April 28, 2007 and will begin at Heritage Landing. Visit the March of Dimes website for more information - http://www.marchofdimes.com/michigan/4259_23558.asp.
