Stratford Youth Council Walkathon
Donation protected
The 12 members of the Stratford Youth Council plan to collectively walk 125kms over a 24 hour period during their 2nd Annual Walkathon Event. Members will take turns walking the Stratford Town Centre track to raise money towards their future initiatives. There will always be at least one Youth Council member walking on the track for the entire event. Volunteers will be on hand to collect donations from the public over the 24 hours.
The event will begin at 12:00pm on Friday, May 4th and run straight through until Saturday, May 5th at 12pm.
The public is encouraged to stop in and show support for these dedicated youth. Donations will be accepted the weeks prior to the event right up until the last lap is completed. Donations can be made in person or through our Go Fund Me Campaign.
In 2015, the Town of Stratford created a Youth Council to engage young people and to provide an opportunity for them to voice their opinions and concerns regarding youth issues in our community.
