Great Strides Hammond Has Record Breaking Number of Walkers!
LANO - Hammond Spotlight - Walkers

Over 180 walkers joined together at North Oak Park on April 25 for Great Strides Hammond. After checking in and enjoying breakfast from Starbucks, Southern Maid Donuts and Krispie Kreme, participants took part in a lively warm-up provided by Spoga Fitness Studio. Walkers then took off around North Oak Park.

After the walk, participants had to opportunity to enjoy food from Subway, Burger King, Pizza Inn, S& W Wholesale, Creole Country, Elmer’s Candy Corporation, Southern Maid Donuts, Cocoa Bean Bakery, and Dominos Pizza. All beverages provided by Coca-Cola and Kentwood Springs. Entertainment was generously provided by KLSU 90.9 FM. A big thank you to Best Buy for bringing out two portable living rooms and photo stations where teams could get their pictures taken and printed right there at the walk! Also many thanks to our numerous raffle donors and North Oak Park for providing a wonderful venue!

As a foundation, we thank everyone for their help with the event, especially our team leaders and walkers. I am excited to announce that around $23,500 was raised! Top fundraising teams and individuals include:

3rd Place

Great Strides for Manessah- Turned in $2,495 at the walk and have since raised $2,910!
