We managed to hit our $5K goal. Thank you everyone for your support. Here are some pictures of the fun. Please remember that Forward Journey relies heavily on fundraising to support our participants and their daily needs through events like the Highmark Walk for Healthy Communities.
The Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community is an annual fundraising event. It is part of the Highmark Bright Blue Futures charitable giving and community involvement program, which focuses on improving equitable access to care, quality of life, and economic resilience in the communities we serve.
The primary goal of the walk is to help participating organizations raise money for their individual missions. One hundred percent of the funds raised through this event go directly back to the participating organizations, as Highmark underwrites all the associated costs.
Forward Journey Adult Day Services has a team that will participate with vigor! Come join our team and help us meet our $3000 goal.

Every zip code in Delaware was represented, the organization said Friday evening.
Organized jointly by United Way of Delaware and Spur Impact, the 24-hour fundraising marathon invited the public to support the nonprofit organizations that mean the most to them by donating at DoMore24Delaware.org.
By setting up individual giving pages, participating nonprofits were able to take advantage of more than $350,000 in matching gifts, cash prizes, and incentives donated by more than two dozen sponsor organizations from across the state.
“Delaware’s nonprofit organizations serve as the backbone of our communities, bolstering our economy, uplifting individuals, and extending a helping hand to those in need,” said Dan Cruce, Chief Operating Officer of United Way of Delaware. “Today, through the collective power of giving, the people of Delaware once again demonstrated just how much the nonprofits of our state are valued.”
Since the March 2020 event, when United Way and Spur Impact joined forces, Do More 24 Delaware has raised more than $9.5 million for Delaware nonprofits.
