For the past 27 years HELP Foundation has not only helped destitute children in India but also provided a platform for over a 1,000 children in USA to serve India. Every year the HELP Walkathon is held the Sunday after Labor Day at Mansquan Reservoir in Howell NJ. It’s a fun filled day with free breakfast and free lunch. Students raise money and submit their donations when they register. Those who raise the most are given awards. You can also receive a Group Leader Award by bringing a group of 10 people. In order to receive volunteer hours students must be present at the Walkathon.
The
Scranton HELP chapter consists of approximately 30 students and will be holding their walkathon on the same day. If you wish you can also do the same…gather a group of friends – each of you can raise money and have a fun filled picnic type event.
