The excitement is building with only 1 day to Walk Day! Thank you for the generous donations and registrations. With your help, we are almost there. To date, we are at 82% to making our goal and we only need 18% to make it to 100% before or by Saturday. Remember, meeting 100% of our goal, we will be able to send at least 3 or 4 young ladies for surgery this year. Help us get to 100% please. Thanks again to all registrants and teams for your support and participation!
Weather Update: According to the latest Accuweather forecast, high temperature 66 and low 46 with sun and clouds. We will update the forecast each day, leading up to Walk-Day.
Transportation: We are encouraging everyone to use metro where possible to get to the Sylvan Theater. The Smithsonian Metro Station is only 2 blocks on the Orange, Blue and Silver Lines from the Sylvan Theater at 15th and Independence Avenue, SW. We are still determining what the nearest parking garage is to the Sylvan Theater. We will give you that update tomorrow, for those of you who prefer to drive to the event.
Suggested Attire: We suggest wearing a long sleeve shirt under your walk t-shirt. A pair of jeans or casual slacks would work very well with your t-shirt. The color of t-shirts is purple with pink graphic on the front, if you want to match your attire to the t-shirt.
