Center for Children.
WALK
Draws Hundreds of Supporters
It was a beautiful day
-- in terms of the weather and the diversity of attendees at Focus:
HOPE's annual WALK and Diversity Festival on October 12. Raising
money for scholarships, the event celebrated Focus: HOPE's mission
of bringing people of all backgrounds together.
Noting that her mother used to say
"if all your friends look like you, get some new friends,"
Mistress of Ceremonies "Coco" urged attendees to introduce
themselves to two people who didn't look like them.
"Make that four people,"
said Focus: HOPE Co-founder Eleanor Josaitis.
Along the four-mile WALK
route, people did just that. Walkers made new friends, then returned
to campus for food, entertainment and camaraderie.
Platinum
sponsors for the event include JP Morgan Chase and Microsoft. Gold
sponsors are Chrysler LLC, Chrysler Financial, Denso International
America and Dow Automotive. "Coco," a WJLB radio personality,
appeared on behalf of her charity COCO 's House: Where Love Lives
and Grows.
