Join Us in Taking the Steps to End Elder Isolation
FriendshipWorks' 8th Annual Walk to End Elder Isolation
A community fundraiser event on Sunday, May 21, 2023 at Boston’s beautiful Jamaica Pond!
New to our Walk this year is a special Elderbration component, to honor and celebrate older adults, and help them feel connected and treasured in their community. We’ll be celebrating with food, live music, cultural performances, and fun, and we don’t want you to miss out.
Why Walk with FriendshipWorks?
Your participation will help support FriendshipWorks’ critical mission of reducing social isolation and help strengthen and expand our collective force of 550 trained volunteers who provide highly personalized programming and friendship to older adults in Boston, Brookline, Newton, Cambridge, and Somerville. Funds raised through our Walk support our FIVE critical programs, which allow us to bring joy and companionship to isolated elders all over Greater Boston- FREE OF CHARGE!
You can participate in four ways:
-
Walk with Us! You can register as an individual walker, a walker with a dog, or a virtual walker when you sign up. You will then be promoted to create a team or join an existing one. From there, you can then set your own fundraising goal. The more you raise, the more prizes you’ll earn!
-
Donate to a Walk Team. If you can’t make it to the event in May, you can still help by donating to a team. Just scroll below and donate to a team or walker of your choice!
-
Sponsor the Event. Put your business in the spotlight while helping older adults in Boston and our surrounding communities stay safer, healthier, and more connected. Create a Walk team and invite employees, families, and friends to make our Walk a true community event, and a team-building engagement tool for your workforce. Sponsoring our Walk makes for a great corporate social responsibility investment.
