We will follow along in their footsteps and keep walking or running until there is a cure! We will have vendors, activities like “Road To Recovery” cardboard car races for kids, face painting, silent auction, Maui Wowi coffee truck, and free-will donation continental breakfast for all who attend. Students can volunteer at this event and receive service hours! We ask all volunteers to sign up for a volunteer role online (https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C084CACAF22A0F5C70-55675927-relay#/) and bring “service hour forms” with them on June 7th.
