FARMINGTON – The Franklin County Children’s Task Force will be holding its annual Make Tracks for Kids walk-a-thon on Saturday, Oct. 18. Registration begins at 8 am in the gazebo in downtown Farmington with the walk scheduled to begin at 9 am sharp.
Participants will make their way on a 2.5 mile walk through downtown and surrounding neighborhoods being led by The Old Crow Indian Band. The walk-a-thon is sponsored by Franklin Savings Bank, with its goal being to raise awareness and funding for child abuse prevention programs in Franklin County and surrounding communities.
Last year alone the FCCTF served over 2,500 children and their families in Franklin County through its many programs. These programs include Growing Healthy Families, Parent Education and School-based violence prevention programs. Any business, group or individual interested in having a team is encouraged to contact the Franklin County Children’s Task Force at 778-6960 for a fundraising packet.
