The Education Alliance is raising money by hosting a Bridge-A-Thon on the Pulaski County Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge, which spans the Arkansas River between Little Rock and North Little Rock. The event will begin at Cook’s Landing at Murray Lock and Dam, located in North Little Rock. The walk will take place at 1:00 PM, Saturday, October 25, 2008. It is a 5 mile walk (back and forth across the bridge 4 times) over the world’s largest pedestrian bridge.
The Education Alliance is an organization that benefits home schoolers all over Arkansas. The organization will receive money pledged by sponsors collected by the walkers participating in the event. Money collected will be used to put on conventions, home school competitions and other state-wide events.
The Education Alliance is in its third year of putting on the annually occurring Bridge-A-Thon, usually on the last Saturday of October. Last year there were 26 walkers and the Alliance received 7,000 dollars. The event is an easy and safe walk for all ages. This would be an excellent event for families and groups to help raise money to benefit a very useful and necessary organization.
For anyone wishing to attend this year’s Bridge-A-Thon, visit http://www.arkansashomeschool.org/ where you can download the sponsor sheet, learn about prizes and receive directions.
