  • CHARLEVOIX COUNTY CROP WALK . . .
    29th Annual Charlevoix County CROP Walk Come rain or shine, area residents are gearing up for the 29th annual Charlevoix County CROP Walk. Slated for Saturday, September 29th at 9:00 a.m., the six-mile walk will commence from three Charlevoix County locations. Those from East Jordan will meet at Elm Pointe. Boyne City participants will assemble at Whiting Park and Charlevoix walkers will gather at the Charlevoix Middle School. The walkers will all end at the Congregational Church in Ironton where lunch will be provided to all who participated. All area churches and individuals are encouraged to join in this annual fundraiser. This year an anonymous donor will donate $20.00 for each new walker participating in the annual walk.

    Organized locally, the Charlevoix County CROP Walk has set a goal to recruit 100 walkers to raise $20,000. Twenty-five percent of all funds raised will be returned to Charlevoix County to support the work of The Good Samaritan of Ellsworth, Care and Share in East Jordan, the Charlevoix Food Pantry, as well as the Seventh Day Adventist and Trinity Pentecostal Church of God in Boyne City.

    Last year, over 90 walkers and volunteers raised more than $20,000 of which $5,000 was distributed among local food pantries. The remaining contributions were used to fight hunger and to provide better sanitation for communities in the United States as well as those around the world.

    For more information about CROP Walk, please contact: Marge Teske in East Jordan at 231-536-3128, John Young in Charlevoix at 231-547-2042 or Mary Richwine in Boyne City at 231-582-6035.
