Columbus Park in Chinatown, NYC (Mulberry St. & Bayard St.)
On Saturday, July 31, 2010, the Chinese-American Planning Council (CPC) will bring together over 5,000 participants for a fundraising Walkathon and Family Day Fair with the theme "Community Walks Today, for the Youth of Tommorow." We will kick off at Chinatown’s Columbus Park with a lion dance, speeches by community leaders, and CPC program performances. Starting from Columbus Park, participants will cross the Brooklyn Bridge, rally in Brooklyn’s Cadman Plaza, and then return to the park. Meanwhile, Columbus Park will host entertainment, raffles, games and a community education fair with booths from CPC’s Community Services, other community organizations and event sponsors.
We welcome you to join us at our biennial Walkathon. This year, it will benefit services for the youth. Due to government budget cuts, over 2,000 youth will lose access to community centers, afterschool programs and summer employment. We hope you can join us to support the youth and families in your community and ours.
