Partnership Walk Memphis

Date: Saturday October 26, 2013

Location: Tom Lee Park, Memphis TN

 

Last year 2,000 participants took a step to end global poverty in the annual Memphis Partnership Walk at Tom Lee Park. This year’s Walk/Run raised $255,000. 100% of the funds raised at Partnership Walk go directly to projects supported by the Foundation, not a cent is spent on administration. An additional $190,000 was raised at the Memphis Partnership Gala on September 22 to support the Foundation’s projects.
