There are 5 days until the Walkathon!

(1) Money! The latest fundraising total for the Walkathon is $84,203! But we still have over $100,000 to go to meet our goal. Help us out and donate at https://npo.networkforgood.org/Donate/Donate.aspx?npoSubscriptionId=7556.

(2) With a little help from our friends: The Chinatown Partnership has generously agreed to support the Walkathon by including the event in their daily bulletin. Additionally, they have agreed to place Walkathon posters on garbage cans throughout the neighborhood. So when you finish your coffee today, look for us on your local garbage can!

(3) Have you heard about the Wall of Honor? Our collection of messages made by CPC staff about the Walkathon has been used to create a Wall of Honor. "It is important to raise money for our seniors," one message explains, "because one day we will be seniors." These messages have be recreated on a beautiful banner.

(4) A reminder that CPC staff will be ringing NASDAQ's closing bell Tuesday, along with City Council Member John Liu. This event will be used to promote the Walkathon on Saturday.

(5) A call for talent! We could still use performers at our Family Day Fair Saturday-- if you know anyone who might be interested in attending, please e-mail Mabel Long at mlong@cpc-nyc.org.

(6) GET EXCITED! The projected forecast for this Saturday is sunny with a high of a pleasant 84 degrees! Come and join us for our beautiful walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.
