“Voices for Cerebral Palsy, also known as Samantha’s Purpose, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization,” explained Jackie Calzadilla, village public information officer. “Their mission is to increase the awareness and understanding of Cerebral Palsy while bringing families, community members and children of all abilities together to give back to the Cerebral Palsy community.
“The event will begin with the run, walk and stroll at 4 p.m., which will be followed by an opportunity for participants to enjoy the Kids Activity Area and visit the various resource vendors that will be onsite,” she added.
There will be a variety of food and beverages served by the participating food trucks and vendors. The event will conclude with the showing of a family movie, which will be determined at a later date through an online survey.
