Walkathon Advertisement

The walkathon event is a 2-mile trip around Chevy Chase Golf Course on April 14th, 2007 from 11:00am to 3:00 pm.

The walkathon earns money that helps the Big Waters federation continue to organize, fund, or supplement its parent-child programs.

By participating, you will be directly contributing to your own parent-child relationship, and indirectly contributing through the Big Waters Federation to many other parent-child relationships.

Only Big Waters Federation members can participate in walkathon activities. Children must be accompanied by a parent. Children can invite friends to the walkathon event.
