Once again, Shepherd Home will field a team to walk for Spike’s Hike. This is a joint activity with Special Olympics of New York, Genesee Region.

The 4.5 mile hike will take place on May 24th with registration at 9:00 AM (bagels and juice served) and the official beginning is at 10:00am. The route starts at Frontier Field and winds through lovely parts of Rochester, including the University of Rochester Campus, returning back to Frontier Field. Water, fruit, and healthy snacks are provided at areas throughout the walk. Lunch will be provided when the hike is complete. All registration materials, food, support, check-in stations, prizes, and the availability of first aide is provided by Special Olympics, Genesee Region.

Registration costs for a team are $150. All walker-sponsorship funds are split 50/50 with Special Olympics. This is a fun and healthy morning in which Special Olympics invites non-profit groups from the whole area to benefit their organization and Special Olympics. In the past two years, we have successfully raised almost $1,000.

Brochures outlining all the details as well as how to set up your team on the internet will be available by April 1st in the Shepherd Home Volunteer Room or call Tracy Dovi at Shepherd Home.

Let’s put together a great team this year and walk for Shepherd Home!
Special Olympics does all the work and we have all the fun!
