Walkin’ The Country 4…How Did We Do?


How did we do?  The short answer is AMAZING!

The current total is $34,058.52!

But what does that mean?

That means:

11,352 backpacks can be distributed in Tompkins County.

283 children will have food in the home over weekends and holidays for the whole school year!

Since this was the last walk, we took a look at what we’ve raised together over the 4 years of Walkin’ The Country:

Over $118,000 was raised.

Translated, that’s 39,333 backpacks and 983 children who will be served for a whole school year.

And it’s all because you cared!

I am in awe of your generosity,

Chris
