16th Annual 2024 Walk for the Poor
Table of Contents
We cordially invite you to participate in the Society of St. Vincent de Paul’s 16th Annual Friends of the Poor 5K Walk, taking place Sat. 9/21/2024, Heckscher State Park in East Islip
For those unfamiliar with the park, the 1,600 acres of Heckscher State Park on the south shore of Long Island are used by park visitors for a number of outdoor activities; primarily, the park’s shady picnic groves provide the idyllic spots for family and group picnic outings. Large open fields are used for soccer, cricket, lacrosse, and other field sports. Four miles of paved, multi-use trails attract bicycle riders, walkers, and nature lovers. In addition to stunning views of the Great South Bay with Fire Island as the backdrop, visitors see whitetail deer, a variety of birds and other wildlife.
We are looking forward to a fun family event and hoping for beautiful weather. Invite friends and family to walk with you and make it a full, fun day together walking for a greater cause and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the park.
The 5k path stretches 3.1 miles through the park and along the waterfront. Enjoy snacks, ice cream, music from DJ Elevated Eventertainment, and fun back at our picnic pavillion!
Our 16th Annual Friends of the Poor Walk will take place on Saturday, September 21, 2024 at Heckscher State Park in East Islip, NY.
