Expect some hills. Much of the trail is tree-covered.
Hawk Walk is the primary fundraiser for The 24 Group www.the24group.org, a nonprofit foundation that educates the public about the effects of substance abuse on families, and provides grants to local education, treatment and recovery organizations to help adolescents and young adults in early recovery. Your help is more important than ever!

Why Hawk Walk
The 24 Group founding board members Marissa and Kim Manlove lost their son David when he succumbed to his struggles with addiction at the age of 16. The Manloves chose the symbol of a hawk as a reminder of their son. In Native American culture, hawks are considered messengers that soar between heaven and earth; they help to open our eyes to a vision of a better and brighter future. Hawk Walk: Celebration of Recovery is David's message of hope for a brighter future for those struggling with the disease of addiction
