About this event
- 4 hours
On April 1st at Maidu Park in Roseville, the Embarcadero Lion's Club is hosting another uplifting event of movement and friendship in support of the Parkinson Association of Northern California (PANC) and our local PD community.
In honor of Robert G. Smith, a long-time Lion's Club member and Sacramento deputy sheriff who courageously fought his battle with Parkinson's disease, the "COP" Walk is a festive opportunity to pull out your sneakers, stroll with old and new friends alike, learn from vendors, share lunch, and sport your 2023 Cop Walk t-shirt (included in early registration fee). The walk itself is a gentle course and designed for people with Parkinson's to be successful.
100% of the event's proceeds benefit PANC's NorCal support groups, respite grants, educational initiatives, and more. Register as an individual, as a team or by proxy with a donation in support loved ones living with a PD diagnosis.
