Concern America's 15th Annual Walk Out of Poverty
Saturday, March 31, 2012

We are very excited about the coming year, as Concern America will celebrate its 40th anniversary! An important part of our yearlong celebrations will beGrow Global our 30th walk event in Orange County: 15 years of our Hunger Walk and now 15 years of the Walk Out of Poverty! The 2011 Walk was our most successful ever, raising $70,000 in support of health, water, education, and income-generation projects in Latin America and Africa, and engaging close to 600 members of our Orange County community to “Grow a Global Heart.”

The following are links to important information and documents for the Walk Out of Poverty. If you have any questions and/or would like to set up a Walk presentation with your group (a 45 minute, interactive presentation that explores our connections with people around the world), please contact the Walk Co-coordinators by calling 714-953-8575, or by email, John Straw (jstraw_concern@earthlink.net.) and Teri Saydak (tsaydak_concern@earthlink.net).
