Walkin' For Wishes Registration Form The La Crosse Jaycees “Walkin’ for Wishes” was started in June 2008. Through donations raised from walkers and local businesses, the La Crosse Jaycees was able to donate money to a local patient with breast cancer.

The La Crosse Jaycees will host its fourth annual Walkin’ for Wishes event June 11, 2011, at Weigent Park Shelter, 16th St S & Cass, La Crosse. Registration will begin at 9:00 a.m., with the walk starting at 10:00 a.m. Rock Out Cancer will occur that night at Howies. Registered walkers will receive $2 off of their $5 admission. |

This St. Patrick's Day fund-raiser is held by businesses to help people with neuromuscular diseases. All materials are provided free by the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). It's a great way to create a festive St. Patrick's Day atmosphere. Millions of Shamrocks against Dystrophy participants will "share the green" in time for St. Patrick's Day and help the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The nation's largest charitable campaign associated with St. Patrick's Day, Shamrocks against Dystrophy has raised more than $10 million through the efforts of volunteers, participating businesses and donors. "This special campaign provides a marvelous way of supporting MDA's lifesaving research and service programs that benefit families, such as summer camps and clinics," said singer/actor Maureen McGovern, national chairperson of Shamrocks Against Dystrophy. |
