Help the Homeless Walkathon

SOME supporters gather at the Help the Homeless Walkathon.

The Fannie Mae Help the Homeless Walkathon will take place on Saturday, November 19, 2011. SOME is fortunate to be a beneficiary of the Walkathon again this year.

If you are interested in hosting a Mini-Walk this summer or fall to benefit SOME, please contact Megan Gannon at mgannon@some.org or 202-797-8806 ext. 1010.

Mini-Walks
The Fannie Mae Help the Homeless Program invites schools, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia to host Mini-Walks as part of the annual Help the Homeless Walkathon.

Whether it is a walk held with a high school, university, summer camp, nursing home, or Boys and Girls club, Mini-Walks are a great way to increase the awareness of the issues surrounding homelessness while raising funds for organizations like SOME. Each walk lasts a minimum of 30 minutes and will have two components: a short presentation on homelessness conducted by a SOME representative, and at least 15 minutes of physical activity.
