8th Annual Memory Walk
and
25^th Anniversary Dedication

Saturday, October 2, 2010
8:30 a.m. RAIN or SHINE 

On Saturday, October 2, 2010, the Anne Arundel County Chapter of the Bereaved Parents of the USA is hosting its eighth annual Memory Walk to remember all of the children who died too soon but still walk in the hearts of our families and friends. This year, we are also commemorating the 25^th Anniversary of the Bereaved Parents of the USA Anne Arundel County Chapter. In celebration of our 25 years serving the needs of bereaved parents in our area, we will be dedicating a teak bench to the Blue Heron Garden with a brass plaque and a time capsule of messages to our children. We will have special message paper available at the walk or you can mail in your message on a 4.25 x 5.50 piece of paper of your choice to our P.O. Box (below) no later than September 28th. We would like to take this opportunity to unite the families of our local area and keep the memory of our beloved children alive with this legacy.
 

Please join us in raising funds to help our chapter in its mission by asking friends, family and businesses to back you with pledges to support our work. Whether you walk two miles or a hundred feet, or even make a pledge, is not important. What matters is that you have taken the time to join with family and friends – new and old – who are walking the same journey as you. We hope to see you there.
