Welcome to the Sixth Annual Walk & Family Fun Day for Growing Hope!
The Optimist Club of Greater Vienna sponsors the Walk as a fundraiser for its Childhood Cancer Campaign. The 2011 event was held on September 24 on the Vienna Town Green - a great location. The weather was pleasant and the attendance topped previous years. The donations hit a new high to almost $51,000.
In addition to the 3-mile walk, there were lots of fun activities for all ages, including:
• Moon Bounce
• Dunk Tank
• Balloon Artist
• Live Music
• Refreshments
• Raffle
• Silent Auction.
Growing Hope is a non-profit organization located in Northern Virginia, and it receives 75% of the proceeds from our Walk. It is a very special program that provides educational, social and financial support for children with cancer and their families. The childhood cancer research program at Johns Hopkins University & Medical Center receives the remaining 25%. Every dollar we raise stays right here in our area and benefits us all. Since the beginning in 2006, we have raised more than $185,000!
The Optimist Club invites you, your family and friends to join us each year for this wonderful and inspiring event. We promise you’ll have fun! You may get your face painted or dunk your favorite person in the dunk tank or even win a raffle or silent auction prize. We’re Optimists - anything is possible!
Thanks for your participation in our 2011 Walk for Growing Hope & Family Fun Day. We need everyone’s support. Together we make a difference!
