Walks with Buddy, Inc. along with the Milford Prevention Council will be hosting the 2^nd Annual Walk Milford Challenge on September 8, 2019.  Last year, more than 100 participants had joined the Walk Milford Challenge, covering 40+ walking routes – the second year is shaping up to be EPIC once again!

Starts at 9:00AM!

The Walk Milford Challenge serves a dual purpose:

=         Goal 1: Raise funds for organizations in our community that help with mental illness & suicide prevention; and establish a fund to help those without insurance be able to receive mental health care.

=         Goal 2:  Have the ENTIRE City of Milford walked simultaneously in 2 hours or less. Other than last year’s attempt, this feat has not been done anywhere. The town of Milford has a lot to offer our participants with its extensive coastlines, Downtown, the Harbor, and Silver Sands State Park. This event will cover the entire city - from shoreline to downtown to the wooded areas north of the Post Road.

Milford Food 2 Kids and Title Sponsor—The FSP Foundation to host a Gala at Great River Golf Course at 6 PM. 

The Gala will support the sustainability of our mission to feed local school children. Our goal for the 2019-2020 school year is to raise sponsorships for 160 children. A sponsorship of $280 covers 40 weekly deliveries of food to feed a child over the weekend when they are away from school.

Gala Sponsors from the Milford community and beyond join in the commitment that no child should go hungry, and that if we work together, we can become a solution to food insecurity. Visit Milfordfood2kids.org to celebrate our Gold sponsors: Milford Pediatric, Stonebridge and Big Smiles; and our Silver Sponsors: The Milford Bank, Steven’s Ford, and Subway; and other generous business & individual sponsors.

Food insecurity among children is not unique to Milford. Title sponsor--The FSP Foundation is helping Milford Food 2 Kids share our model and inspire other communities in Connecticut who do not have resource programs or who are underserved with resources.

The Gala will include dinner, live and silent auctions and entertainment by Jay Rowe. Tickets are limited, so visit Milfordfood2kids.org to learn more about registering.
