2014 Walk for Life - Cornerstone Ministry Village/Cornerstone Pregnancy Center

On a cool, crisp Saturday morning on February 22nd we will all gather at Pavilion #1 for registration and prayer. The walk will officially begin at 9 a.m.  It is a lovely, easy 2 mile walk on a wide paved path along the Econ River. After you finish, there will be snacks, music, and a bounce house for the little ones to enjoy. There will be free Walk for Life shirts for each registered walker reaching the required donation level. Prizes for top fundraising walkers too! The “Sneaker” Award plaque will be presented to the church with the largest combined donations.  They get to keep the plaque at their church for one year – till the next year’s walk.

In 2014, Cornerstone is moving forward with plans to achieve medical status and begin offering free ultrasounds in addition to the services we already offer. Will you and your family join us in reaching this goal?

Proceeds from this year’s event will benefit the Maternal Care Center (Hogar Materno Hannah) located in the Amazon Basin in Peru.

The Center also provides a home to abandoned, orphaned and malnourished children.
