Walk and help hold the
hand of a child...
The number of walkers jumped
from 450 in 1998 to 750 in
1999,
corporate dollars increased 35%, personal donations doubled...
an
increase of 100%!
We
hope to double those contributions at the 2000
Walkathon!
At
last year's Walkathon, we gave away all our Walkathon
T-shirts,
PCF
Walkathon
Pins,
tons
of Domino Pizza slices,
loads
of fresh Samantha Drinks,
piles
of Ess-a-Bagels,
quarts
of Starbucks Coffee,
and
more & more & more!

Kids
rubbed noses with Walkaround Elmo,
got
their faces painted,
picked
cards with the Magician,
played
Balls & Pins with the
Stilt
Man...
while
everyone got into the groove with AD HOC.

The
weather was perfect,
as
predicted by WABC-TV Weatherperson LEE GOLDBERG, who did live reads of
the weather from early A.M. till he co-hosted the event with Walkaround
Elmo!
