Honoring Our Homeless Veterans: Help the Homeless Walk & 5K at the Fair Park Band Shell

11.10.2011 by Girl on Fire // Leave a Comment

On Saturday, November 12, 3PM, the Help the Homeless Walk & 5K will be held at the Fair Park Band Shell.  Funds raised benefit The Bridge homeless assistance center.  It’s a great event for the entire family.  In addition to getting your daily exercise, there will be lots of fun, food and music.

  • The North Texas Patriot Guard will lead off both the walk and run.
  • The presentation of colors will be led by the 4th Air Wing Honor Guard, Texas State Guard
  • Slappy and Monday (from Slappy’s Puppet Playhouse fame) will be on hand…a great opportunity for the kids to say ‘hi’ to the affable clowns.
  • Dallas’ favorite band, Emerald City, will be bringing us the toe tapping tunes.
  • Great, free food samples from Tiff’s Treats (yummy cookies), Little Caesar’s, Community Coffee, Pepsi, Powerade, Clif Bars, and Frito Lay.
  • Fun, interactive games, face painting and more!

Check out www.HelpTheHomelessDallas.org.

What is extremely important about this event is that it is honoring our homeless veterans.  1 in 5 members of the homeless population are veterans and 20% of veterans coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan are expected to be homeless.
