Dallas Help the Homeless Walkathon - November 14, 2009
8:00a.m. - noon

Thousands of walkers, runners and joggers will take steps to end homelessness in Dallas at the 3rd Annual Help the Homeless WalkAThon & 5K. New this year is the addition of a 5K Run through Downtown Dallas. In addition, there will be a family fun walk, food, music and other fun activities.

Proceeds from this year's WalkAThon & 5K will be used to support Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance (MDHA), operators of The Bridge: Dallas' Way Back Home. People experiencing homelessness access opportunities at The Bridge, the area's only centralized multi-service campus for care and housing.

Whether you walk as an individual, a corporate team, or a group, you CAN make a difference! Last year, more than 1,800 participants put their soles into helping end chronic homelessness in Dallas, raising more than $314,000.
