4th ANNUAL WALK
n' ROLL
Walkers, Strollers, Wheelchairs
THE EVENT
The brand new PSE&G Children's Specialized Hospital-New Brunswick opened its doors to much fanfare in December, 2007. That major accomplishment was due, in large part, to the many supporters who participate in events such as the Walk n' Roll. The 2010 edition is on the horizon and we hope you can join us in beautiful Johnson Park in Piscataway. Enjoy scenic walks from 1 to 5 miles and enjoy wonderful amenities including bountiful refreshments, a live band and DJ, games, prizes and our very popular KidsAbilities Carnival.
So please circle your calendar for May 22, lace up your sneakers and join us for a great day. You may also push your child in a stroller or pull a wagon. And please solicit pledges from friends and family for our worthy cause. Johnson Park is easy to get to via Routes 287, 18, 22 or 1 as well as the Garden State Parkway or New Jersey Turnpike.
Pets allowed!
Come and have a lot of fun while raising $$$ for our kids!
