Stepping Out for Seniors
During the first two weeks of June 2023, individuals and teams from all ‘walks of life’ will come together in support of the Life Enrichment Center’s programs and services that make a big impact for seniors in our community. Get involved today!
Feel free to join us at the Center for our kick-off walk on Thursday, June 1st at 10:30 AM, followed by lunch at noon.
Rain or Shine!
Why Walk?
Walk because you can! Walk because you can help!
Walking is easy right? So we think, until life gets in the way. The wear and tear of a life well lived and the passage of time can slow us to a halt later in life. Don’t take for granted the simple pleasure of taking a walk. Exercise is the best medicine and the closest thing we have to the fountain of youth!
Walk while you can and walk for a cause. Help raise money to support your local senior center and enrich the lives of older adults.
