The walk starts and ends at Women’s Hope, located at 820 Stage Road in Auburn, and is one mile through surrounding neighborhoods.

Everyone is welcome including children and pets. Bring your bikes, wagons, skates or whatever you choose.

There will be face painting, a moonwalk and food provided at the event.

Walkers are sponsored with a pledge. Walkers do not have to collect the money; women’s hope will contact the sponsors after the walk. A sponsor form is available at local churches and at Women’s Hope.

All donations go straight towards funding the services Women’s Hope provides.

Women’s Hope Medical Clinic is a Christian ministry dedicated to meeting the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of those facing an unplanned pregnancy. It also promotes the sanctity of human life and the benefits of healthy relationships and sexual integrity.

Some of the services provided at the clinic include pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections testing, limited prenatal and ultrasound care, parenting education programs, fatherhood programs and sexual integrity education. All services are free and confidential.

Bethany Garth is the publicity and event coordinator for Women’s Hope.

“We are a non-profit so we run solely off of our fundraisers and private donations,” Garth said. “The 'Walk for Life' is one of our two major fundraisers each year and it brings in about 20 percent of our annual budget.”

Garth said fundraising events are important for non-profit organizations.

“Because we provide all these medical and support services absolutely free of charge for the client, our fundraising efforts are particularly important and that is why the 'Walk for Life' plays an important role at Women’s Hope,” Garth explained.
