The public is invited to take steps to benefit local students and teachers. This year's Second Annual Wisdom Walk and Health Fair will be held on Saturday, August 25, 2007 at the Indian River Mall from 7:30 a.m. - Noon. This popular event is a "fun-raiser" for the Education Foundation's School Supply Fund. It is also an opportunity to educate students, parents and teachers about healthy initiatives that impact academic achievement.

The event begins with a walk held inside the Indian River Mall. Registered participants receive a goodie bag, t-shirt, shopping coupons, and a chance to win fabulous door prizes. A health fair features community businesses and resources that serve students from. The event concludes with a special Teacher Fashion Show presented by Macy's Department Store.

Proceeds help to purchase $34,000 in classroom supplies for public elementary schools. This year the program is being expanded to include Oslo Middle School. The program serves two purposes; it supplies students with necessary materials and it provides financial support to teachers who often spend their own money to fill in funding gaps. Last year more than 600 classrooms benefited from this program that touched nearly 10,000 students in Indian River County.

Please consider participating in the Wisdom Walk in one of the following ways:
o Come Walk on Saturday, August 25, 2007, a suggested donation of $25.00 will enable you to register a team.
o Become an event sponsor.
o Become a table sponsor. A donation of $100 will enable a business to feature health and educational services.
o Encourage your friends and neighbors to come to the event and bring a school supply.

For more information call the Education Foundation office (772) 564-0034 or email: info@edfoundationirc.org.

The mission of the Education Foundation of Indian River County is to enrich and enhance educational opportunities for all students and teachers, in both public and private schools, through effective fundraising and efficient allocation of resources.
