"Walk as One" Multicultural Festival

Stay tuned for further info on the 2006 Walk as One @ Kiwanis Park in Tempe, AZ

"Walk-As-One" is the largest national fundraiser for Anytown Arizona Inc, an affiliate of the National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ), the people who bring us Anytown. The Walk brings participants from business, education, and religion together in the fight against bias, bigotry and racism in our community. Please join me in recognizing and resounding the NCCJ's message of inclusion, equity and respect for all. The event begins at 1pm and will be followed by multicultural entertainment, free food, and beverages.
