Happy New Year!
As 2010 begins, we reflect on a very successful year for Operation Walk Pittsburgh – with your help, we grew this initiative from concept to reality, completed our first trip to Antigua, Guatemala where we completed 63 joint replacements, and raised nearly $60,000 for the effort.
In 2010, we will continue “granting the wish to walk” with Operation Walk Pittsburgh’s return trip to Guatemala in addition to our first local effort here in Pittsburgh.
As you can see, we are also starting 2010 with a brand new look to represent our hometown colors!
Our return trip to Guatemala is scheduled for August 21-27, and, unlike our first time, we will be responsible for all volunteers and fundraising for this trip. We plan to have a team of 50 volunteer health care professionals, and our goal is to raise $150,000.
We will need your support and participation to make sure this trip and future efforts happen…
Please visit our website for ways to get involved – from becoming a travel team member to hosting or attending an event to donating your time or financial support.
With your help, we will continue “granting the wish to walk” both here at home and abroad.
In addition to keeping you informed of our progress throughout the year, we will also update our website with events and other ways for you to get involved with Operation Walk Pittsburgh. So please visit our website often, and, if you haven’t done so already, join us on Facebook. We will have some exciting event announcements very soon…
We look forward to staying in touch with you throughout the year and best wishes for a healthy and happy 2010!
