Announcing an up an coming event!

Compassion International announces the Walk with Compassion – Dallas/Ft. Worth!

The Walk is scheduled for Saturday, October 8, 2016 at:

• Addison Circle Park located in Addison, Texas

Walk with Compassion is Compassion International’s new fundraising walk series designed to address the challenges of vulnerable children that go beyond what monthly sponsorship covers. The money we raise together helps to fund important projects like clean water, mosquito nets, disaster relief, and so much more. While child sponsorship continues to be the backbone of how we are releasing children from poverty, there are many additional needs that can’t be ignored. That is why communities including Dallas/Ft. Worth across the country are choosing to Walk with Compassion.

Leading up to the event, local fundraising teams will challenge one another to raise as much as possible on behalf of children around the world. Fundraisers will reach out to friends and family to share their personal connection to the mission, and to ask for others to support them in reaching their personal fundraising goals.

Fundraising provides a tangible opportunity for parents to teach their children about the importance of caring for “the least of these,” bringing to life the plight of so many children who have given up hope. This fundraising event becomes the ideal platform for introducing Compassion’s mission to your entire community and inviting them to be a part of releasing children from poverty — even if it’s with just a few dollars at a time.

Finally, on the day of the event, we will come together to celebrate the difference we have made through our fundraising, and to learn more about how the dollars we have raised are helping us reach our goal of ending child poverty. An interactive set of stations guided by an online video experience will add to the feeling of accomplishment fundraisers will feel on the day of the walk.
