Walk A Mile In Her Shoes a Huge Success for Open Arms

The second annual spring fundraiser, Walk A Mile In Her Shoes, was held on Saturday, April 24 at Riverside Park in Findlay. The event was a huge success, raising funds for the agency and raising awareness for the 600 + people that attended the event.

This year's event highlighted 134 walkers wearing four inch high heels. The walkers followed a one mile trail through Riverside Park and the surrounding city streets. Leading the pack this year was the Findlay High School Drum Line, 2010 State Champions!

The family friendly event provided a fantastic kids area, local food vendors, massage stations and entertainment. Several prizes and awards were given to walkers who "walked the red carpet" to win Best Legs, Best Strut, Most Likely to Break A Heel" and other fun awards.

Open Arms would like to extend our sincere thanks to our Sponsors, Walkers and over 65 Volunteers who made this event a success! And don't forget...the tentative date for Walk A Mile 2011 is April 23!
