Contributed by the Salvation Army - Cheboygan County
The Cheboygan County Salvation Army is reaching out to you in this time of need, as
we fight the Coronavirus and help our neighbors stay warm. Every winter
Cheboygan County has come together to put on the Walk for Warmth (W4W), an
event that supports families who are in danger of losing their utilities. This
fund is only as generous as the donations that we receive from local businesses
and individuals. The tradition continues this year, though we will do things a
little differently because of the Coronavirus.
Please register to participate in this year’s virtual Walk for Warmth, a fun event for
families and people of all ages. In years past we have joined for a community
walk down Main St. in Cheboygan, with food following the event. This year, in
order to fight the spread of the Coronavirus, we will be opting for a virtual
walk instead. You can pick your day and time to complete a walking route of
your choice -- whether that is Main St. or another place of your choosing. This
year’s theme is “Warm and Cozy” – a chance to celebrate the feeling of family
love, Christmas sweaters, winter pajamas, and hot cocoa. You can form a team
and compete against other teams to raise the most donations, or participate as
an individual. You have between January 11th and February 28th to complete your
walk. Send us a selfie after you’ve completed your walk, for a chance to win
prizes for best costume, longest walk, most unusual walk, and largest amount
raised. For pledge forms and other information, please visit the Salvation Army
office (444 S. Main St.) and follow our Facebook page (@cheboygansalvationarmy).
