"Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield hosts the Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community in this community each year because we know that together we can change the lives of many. The walk provides hope for many organizations that are making a difference everyday, and by supporting our local nonprofit organizations, we are all making this community a better place to live.” 
~Charles Gladney, director of community program implementation and development at Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield

 

The walk brings together local nonprofit organizations and human services programs in the community and offers walkers from each agency:

  • A beautiful day! The walk will be held rain or shine.
  • An accessible walkway for strollers and wheelchairs.
  • Free parking available.
  • Food, beverages, music, activities and prize drawings following the walk.
  • A chance to win prizes. For every $50 you raise, you will receive one raffle ticket.
  • A Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community t-shirt if you raise $25 or more (while supplies last).

Registering is as easy as 1-2-3-4!

  1. Visit www.walkforahealthycommunity.org.
  2. Choose Erie as the walk location.
  3. Select Erie Homes for Children and Adults (EHCA) as the organization you want to support.
  4. Choose to form a team or walk as an individual. 

Fundraising is made easy, too!  With secure online donations, everyone in your e-mail address book can receive a user-friendly link to your fundraising page and contribute quickly to your efforts!

Because Highmark incurs 100% of the expenses for this event, all the money you raise benefits the Special Needs Fund or Recreation & Leisure Fund of EHCA.  We thank you for your support!
