Who

Everyone is invited to support Parker's House by joining in Parker's Walk. No one is required to raise any money - just show your support by showing up at the statue of Washington Duke on the East Campus of Duke University at 9am on Saturday, October 16 - then join in and walk with us.

What

Parker's Walk is an event to raise awareness and provide funding for Parker's House, a transitional home for a Durham, NC homeless family. Residents live at Parker's House for a period of time long enough to develop sustainable independence and return to permanent housing. You can show your support for Paker's House in three ways:

  • You can sign up to walk and raise money for Parker's House by asking people to sponsor your walk. Sponsors agree to give you a cash donation to support your participation.
  • You can simply show up at 9am and get your daily exercise by walking with the other participants. You do not have to raise any money to participate in Parker's Walk. Show your support by showing up!
  • If it is not possible for you to participate in the walk, you can sponsor someone who is using their walk as a way to raise funds for Parker's House.

    • Either way you choose to participate, you will be helping a family get back on their feet following a period of homelessness.

    When & Where

    Parker's Walk will be held Saturday, October 16, 2010 at 9am. Meet at the statue of Washington Duke on Duke's East Campus. Parking is available along the entrance to East Campus, along the East Campus wall across from Whole Foods, and in the Whole Foods parking lot.

    Why

    Your support of Parker's House provides valuable assistance to a formerly homeless family as they work to become independent. Parker's House is an all-vounteer organization, so 100% of your donation is used to help residents develop the skills and financial resources to reach the point of sustainable independence.
