A nationwide, family-friendly fundraising walk to support Seniors on the Bow (SOTB) is coming to Cochrane for the first time.
SOTB is currently recruiting teams and sponsors for its Grand Parade on Sept. 20, hoping to raise much-needed funds for programs supporting its rapidly growing membership.
Participants can choose between a 2.5 km or 5 km walk, starting at the SLS Centre and following Cochrane’s paved pathway system. There is no limit to team size.
Registration opens at 10 a.m., with the walk beginning at 11 a.m., followed by a light lunch.
The Grand March was launched by the Blue Sea Foundation as a nationwide initiative to bring people together, raise essential funds, and build stronger community ties. It aims to enhance the quality of life for seniors, many of whom live on limited incomes and have been impacted by government benefit cutbacks.
The event was held in a record 33 locations last year, attracting 1,800 participants and raising $740,000.
