WALK-A-THON 2024 慈 善 步 行 籌 款 日
​
13th Annual Fundraising Event 第 十 三​ 屆 慈 善 籌 款 活 動

September 28, 2024 (SAT) 10 AM – 1:30 PM 2024 年 9 月 28 日（週六 )

Close out the summer with an amazing family-friendly and healthy community gathering - the annual parish Walk-a-thon! Sign up as a single walker or as a group, then ask for donation pledges. For those who cannot walk with us that day, please consider sponsoring a walker. All proceeds go to the parish. This is one of the "Big Three" fundraisers of the year - thank you for your support!  Scroll down to see our featured walkers!
​結束夏天的最佳方式就是參加一次適合全家參與且有益健康的社區活動－一年一度的聖德肋撒堂區慈善步行！您可以單獨報名或組團參加，並邀請親友為您的步行捐款。如果當天無法與我們一同步行，您也可以考慮贊助一位步行者。所有收益將捐給堂區。這是我們全年「三大」籌款活動之一—感謝您的支持！請向下滾動查看我們優秀的步行者！
