The walk will start and finish in front of the Argus building on Wesley Street.

Registration is $25 with $20 donated to a registered charity of the participant’s choice. The remaining $5 will help support Volunteer.bm, The Centre on Philanthropy’s online resource for connecting volunteers with local charities.

Elaine Butterfield, Executive Director of The Centre on Philanthropy, said: “I would like to thank Argus for their ongoing sponsorship of this unique fundraising event. Last year, 1,094 people participated in the walk raising $34,438 in support of 125 charities.

“We encourage all charities to take advantage of this excellent fundraiser. Register today and help us to have an even more impactful event this year.”

The annual event was selected by The Bermudian 2015 Product & Service Awards as the Company Community/Charity Project of the year.

Michelle Jackson, Executive Vice-President, Group Insurance of the Argus Group, said: “This is our seventh annual fundraising walk with The Centre on Philanthropy. The event is a fun way to promote walking as a part of a healthy lifestyle and it offers the community a unique way to donate to charity. I encourage you to register with friends, family or colleagues and enjoy a community walk in support of your favourite cause.”

Participants are encouraged to register as teams who walk together in support of the same charity. After the walk, prizes will be awarded to the largest youth, non-profit and corporate teams as well as to the teams with the best coordinated outfits, best choreography and best cheer.
