Thanks to one and all for your volunteering and PARTICIPATING!
We hope we’ve established a tradition for future years. Everyone has had a lot of fun planning this; the cause remains; we hope you’ve enjoyed yourself as well. We hope to see you on the Sunday closest to Earth Day each year, as time passes.

Mark your calendar and join us again for our next Run-Walk event! If you can help, volunteer here.

We have in place the order buttons for our next event; It’s not too early to contribute. Each click will represent that amount of a tax deductible cash contribution for PRESERVATION. We’re now actively taking reservations for our next event!

You can PARTICIPATE VIRTUALLY from any place in the world if you can’t make it out here personally to join in! Preservation increasingly needs everyone’s support!
