Participating in the 2nd San Diego Walk For Darfur is a great way to get actively involved in this cause. This is a family oriented event perfect for everyone -- all age groups and fitness levels. You can choose to run, jog, or walk approximately 2 or 4 miles in the beautiful setting of San Diego's beautiful De Anza Cove in Mission Bay Park. Unfortunately, dogs are NOT allowed at the Walk according to park rules.
This great event offers a chance to spend a meaningful morning with friends and family, and the extended San Diego Community as we raise funds for an extremely important cause. There will be refreshments and entertainment; at the finish line we will gather for a rally that shall include a keynote address by Rabbi Lee Bycel, humanitarian and Executive Director of the Western Region of American Jewish World Service (AJWS).
In addition, awards will be given out to honor the individuals and teams with the most funds raised! More details of Local Celebrities and Entertainment to come. Each registered participant receives a colorful, top-quality commemorative t-shirt.
The money raised by the walk will be used by American Jewish World Service to continue providing psychosocial services to children and victims of violence in west Darfur.
