All ages can participate in the Make-A-Wish Foundation Walk for Wishes on March 24th to help reach the goal of granting 5 local wishes.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Southern Florida will be holding its Walk For Wishes® 5K Walk/Run on March 24th at Florida Gulf Coast University Recreation Field located at 10501 FGCU Blvd. South in Fort Myers.

All ages are encouraged to participate in the event to help make wishes come true for local children with life-threatening medical conditions. Registration will begin at 7:30 a.m. with the 5K Walk/Run beginning at 8:30 a.m. – plus, there’s more fun for the entire family.

This event will be a timed 5K run for those interested. Participants are also invited to walk. It’s all about participation, having fun and raising funds to grant local wishes. At the end of the race, there will be a Family Fun Day complete with a bounce house, face painter, food and activities. Family Fun Day begins at 9:00 a.m. and continues until 11:00 a.m. with fun for all ages.

Pre-registration fees for the Walk For Wishes are: $25 for adults, $15 for students and $10 for children 12 years of age and younger. Event-day registration is $30 for adults, $20 for students and $15 for children 12 and younger.

Registration is available at www.walkforwishes.net to sign up as an individual and to register a team. Any team that raises $2,500 or more will be named a partner in sponsoring a child’s wish, and any team that raises $5,000 or more will be named a sponsor for a child’s wish.

Sponsors are still needed for this event with sponsorships ranging from $500 to $5,000. The goal is to raise enough money to grant 5 local wishes. Organizers ask that the community please help make local wishes come true -- walk, run, create a team -- participate.
