We are proud to announce the collaboration of Windham Lions Club and Windham Neighbors Helping Neighbors Network (WNHNN) in hosting the “Windham Benefit 5K” Run and Family Walk to be held on Sunday, October 25th, 2009. Funds raised will directly benefit the Neighbors program in their efforts to assist Windham residents experiencing a critical emergency need for heating fuel and/or food.

 

With the support of the Windham Business community and citizens of the town, our groups have raised over $21,000 in the last year. The Lions Club has donated to many different causes in past years. With this new partnership, they are dedicating their efforts to better help the Windham families by focusing their financial aid to WNHNN. They will also continue their support in their fight against blindness, diabetes and deafness, as all Lions Clubs do.

 

WNHNN was founded in October 2007. They focus their resources on those residents who do not qualify for or are in the process of waiting for assistance from other entities. 100% of all funds raised go directly to these residents. It is the intention of the two groups to make this an annual combined event.

 

We appreciate the generous support you have given in the past years. Please help this new and exciting collaboration that assists our residents and make this the most successful fundraiser ever.

BACKGROUND

Thank You to all Who Participated in the 2008 Walk-A-Thon

 

On September 27, 2008 the Windham Neighbors Helping Neighbors network held the first 3 mile Walk-a-Thon at the Windham High School.  It was a big success, raising over $17K dollars. More than 50 local businesses helped sponsor the event with money and or donated items for the raffle and refreshments for the walkers. The 2009 Walk-a-Thon plans have already begun.
