Description
For 41 years, The Focus: HOPE Annual WALK, newly named Eleanor's Walk for Hope, has brought together thousands of people in a celebration of the communities that make us one. By uniting on this day, it represents taking a strong stand against racial division, and a renewed commitment to bridge the gap between all people, regardless of their color. This year we will host our annual 4 mile RUN in addition to the WALK event on Sunday, October 11, 2015. Join us as we continue to fight for a world of respect, justice and opportunity for all people.
