2nd 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 2008
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 radio station WALK , live bands, Carnival fun and games,
super refreshments from Whole Foods, Fiji, FUZE, and Snapple to name a few
and of course the Walk n' Roll t-shirt.
So please circle your calendar for May 17, 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!
