How would you like to Improve Your Health & Make a difference at the same time?
Join us for the “We Can Make a Difference Walk-A-Thon” for Afghan refugees resettling in CT.
Currently 310+ Afghans will be settling in CT. It is 6,670 Miles from Old Lyme to Afghanistan.
Our goal is to reach Afghanistan “figuratively” through our steps and let those resettling in our
state know that we care about them as a community.
This Walk-a-Thon differs from the usual ones because you will NOT be asked to raise money
and participants will walk on their own and record their steps in a logbook that we will provide.
You will call in or email your step totals weekly.
Each participant is asked to donate $5.00 when they sign up. If you are unable to donate but
still want to participate just let us know.
The senior center will also be reaching out to local businesses to see if they wish to be a sponsor for $50.00.
We are currently recruiting senior centers across the state to join us.
Each senior center (consisting of members and staff participants) will have a team.
We will Post the top 3 TEAM (per person average) each week and the overall senior center with
the most number of steps for that week.
We will continue this until we reach our goal. At that point all money collected will be donated in
the form of goods or monetarily to the resettling programs in Connecticut.
Please let us know when you sign up if you need a pedometer. You can also use your fit bit or
smart phones to track your steps.
Call (860)434-4127 to sign up.

A rain date is set for Friday, October 15th at 10am.

No walk in’s will be welcome. Call (860)434-4127 ext. 1 to make an appointment. Masks are required and all safety protocols will be followed.
