Walk 3 miles in memory of loved ones
and raise funds to help those who are grieving.
For over 30 years, Kara has provided peer support to grief-stricken
children, teens, adults, and organizations. Please help us raise
much-needed funds by soliciting sponsorships from your friends,
family, co-workers and neighbors. Your participation enables Kara
to support bereaved clients to heal at their own pace as they face
the death or terminal illness of someone close to them.
How your contributions help:
- $5,000 covers Kara’s cost to use the counseling
rooms, offices and children’s group rooms in our facilities
for two months.
- $1,000 pays for a child or teen to attend Kara’s
Camp Erin. Kara serves over 50 children and teens each year at
Camp Erin.
- $500 supports a Kara client in the Adult Program for
six months. Kara serves over 160 adult clients each year.
- $100 which buys materials for our Outreach Team to train
ten school teachers. Kara provides training & support to over
55 schools each year.
In gratitude for your participation . . .
- All individuals raising funds will receive a visor to wear during
the At Your Own Pace Walk!
- All individuals raising $150 or more will receive a gift certificate
for $15 to use at La Tosca Restaurant in San Carlos!
- The top fundraiser at the Walk will receive a Kodak EasyShare
digital camera!
