WALK FOR EDUCATION

Education Goes Further than 5K

Walkers at the 2003 Easy Spirit Freedom Walk for Scholarship America in Minneapolis

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the 2011 Walk for Education 5K on Saturday, November 12!

The Walk for Education is a vital initiative to promote educational access in communities across California. Now in its 9th year, the Walk has made a significant impact in the number of scholarships awarded on the grassroots level -- and, in a larger sense, to the lives of all who benefit from the education of our youth. This year, we are pleased to announce that the Walk for Education raised more than $11,000 for California Dollars for Scholars chapters!

The SoundWhile the Walk follows a 5-kilometer course, the impact on students and their families can be felt for much longer. Through its Dollars for Scholars® program, Scholarship America® partners with more than 1,700 communities, corporations, colleges and universities across the country to help students with the desire and drive to continue their education beyond high school.

Our thanks to 100.3FM The Sound for their support of the Walk for Education.
