The 12th annual CrossWalk
Fresh air, Exercise and Helping Marion County Victim Assistance Program
January 6, 2024, at 10:00 am Riverfront Park
What a wonderful event, after a stormy night, the sun broke through for participants in the 12th Annual CrossWalk at the Amphitheater, Riverfront Park.
Rotarians came early to help setup, man the tables and walk with neighbors.
It was a perfect start to the day. The nip in the air didn't make any difference as we rambled down the path.
Families came with their pets, enjoying the fresh clean air.
The family-friendly walk (about 1.5 miles) begins and ends at the Gerry Frank Amphitheater.
This walk takes us back to the park where CrossWalk founder, Mary, was attacked on January 1st, 2011, and raises funds to support victims of violent crimes in Marion County. In 1981, the Marion County District Attorney established the Victim Assistance Division.
They work closely with more than fifty volunteers providing 24 hour on-call response and services to victims of violent crimes. Join the Rotary Club of Salem Creekside as we bring hope to victims of violent crime.
We all need someone in our corner to help. Thank goodness for superheroes: Patrick, Terry, Mary and the Marion County Victim Assistance Program.
