Visitor's Industry Walk for Charity

The Visitor Industry's Walk for Charity will be held in downtown Fairbanks on May 14, 2010 beginning at 6:00pm. The walk begins at the Immaculate Conception Church Parking Lot and winds through downtown to the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitor's Center. This walk is a 4K graze from food booths set up along the route to feed walkers with event bibs. Registration is $25 for adults and $15 for children ages 6-12. Those that register before mid-night on May 10 will be eligible for prizes. Register early as walkers who register after May 10 will not be eligible for prizes and will be charged an additional fee of $5. All proceeds from the event will be donated to a charity of your choice. You may choose the amount you wish each non-profit to receive from a list of 50 registered organizations. Bring your family, friends or form a team and enjoy the food and fun.

The walk is sponsored by local businesses including restaurants, hotels, bed and breakfasts and non-profit organizations and organized by the local chapter of the Alaska Tourism Industry Association and the Fairbanks Convention and Visitor's Bureau. All walkers must complete a registration form which may be obtained at the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitor's Center or online http://explorefairbanks.com/charity-walk.
