Thank you for joining us in-person! The walk route is stroller and dog-friendly so the whole family is invited.
We care about the health and well-being of everyone in the RNE community, so masks will be required for all participants over the age of two.
When: Check in begins at 9:00AM, speaking program starts at 10:00AM and the first steps happen at 10:30AM. All Footsteps for Family Building activities will be completed by 12PM. The event takes place rain or shine!
Where: The Endicott Estate, 656 East Street, Dedham, MA 02026. Please see below for additional parking information.
Check-In: When you arrive at the Walk, please check in at registration under the orange tent! Unlike years past, onsite registration will not be available on Walk Day so please be sure to register everyone in your party by Friday, September 24th.
Activities: We have a lot of fun activities for everyone to enjoy including face painting, a roving entertainer, free photo-novelty souvenirs, and a sponsor fair before and after we walk. Light snacks and water will be made available during the festivities following the Walk.
We have some amazing prizes that we’ll be awarding to our top individual fundraisers during the Pre-Walk Ceremony, as well as some fun awards to give out - including Best Mask and Best Dressed Fur Baby - so please use these last few days to prep and fundraise!
If you share photos on social media throughout the day, please consider tagging us @ResolveNewEngland and use the hashtags #RNEwalk2021 and #FootstepsforFamilyBuilding. There will be event photographers capturing walk memories for us but you are welcome to let them know if you’d prefer not to have your pictures taken.
Bathrooms: Outdoor restrooms will be available close to the parking and event area, so we do ask that guests remain on the Estate grounds and do not try to enter the main house.
We are so excited about Footsteps for Family Building and are looking forward to walking with you!
