The Chinese-American Planning Council (CPC) will be staging a walkathon on Saturday, July 26th. Expected to draw over 5,000 walkers, this year's event is entitled "Honoring the Seniors", and will raise money for CPC's many Senior-focused centers and activities (to learn more about them, visit cpc-nyc.org).
