For the past nine years, Cornerstone Reproductive Health has held a Walk for Life event, featuring a 5K walk, a flag football tournament and children’s activities that took place at Salisbury Township Park in Gap. This year, the event will be held at a new venue, and, instead of flag football, an amateur cornhole tournament will be featured.
The 10th annual Walk for Life, titled Walk. Play. Celebrate Life.,
will take place on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at New Holland Church of the Nazarene, 428 Ranck Road, New Holland.
“Since it is the 10th annual, we decided to switch things up,” explained Olivia Imchen, Cornerstone’s director of client services and advancement, noting that New Holland is approximately a 15-minute drive from the Gap park. “New Holland is a central location, so we’re hoping that brings in more of the community.”
