What an event! Hope Productions, created to provide resources to support youth and children’s charities throughout the U.S., held an inagural event here in Sacramento Saturday, May 23rd. It began with a walk around midtown Sacramento that started at Raley Field, down Capital to the Capitol, up 10th St. to K St., throiugh the Downtown Mall then back to Raley Field. With bands stationed along the route and one at The Hard Rock Cafe, over 1,000 walkers showed up to support the cause of seven charities in their inagural year. They raised over $850,000. The charities that benefited were:
Boys and Girls Club of Greater Sacramento
CASA for Children, El Dorado County
OKIZU
Keaton Raphael Memorial
River Cats Foundation
Wind Youth Services
People Reaching Out
Here are a few photos from the walk....
