PHILIPSBURG:--- After a one year hiatus, the Journey for Education Foundation is back with its annual walkathon. The event is slated for this Saturday April5th at 5:00am and has a few changes in route and venue for the participants. The walkathon starts at Le Grand Marche Bush Road parking lot and will loop around the Simpson Bay lagoon via the causeway ending at Pineapple Pete.
Pineapple Pete has thrown their support behind the annual walkathon by sponsoring the ending venue as well as preparing the breakfast for the early morning walkers. Prime Distributors have also come on board as a sponsor. Various other sponsors are contributing in cash and kind to make this year's walkathon a success. "We wanted to make use of the Causeway for the many JFE walkathon supporters, needed an ending venue with a great ambiance in that area and Management of Pineapple Pete were happy to be a part of this event," stated Rolando Tobias President of JFE.
Tickets sales have been robust and planning for the event has been very encouraging. At the end of the walkathon the usual breakfast of salt fish, journey cakes & bush tea will be served along with a few other surprises. Bus transportation will be provided back to Le Grand Marche after the walkathon for all patrons.
Journey for Education is encouraging all those who purchased tickets to come out and participate in the annual walkathon.
