The 2011 Walk for Independence on May 1 attracted nearly 200 walkers and volunteers and raised $9,000 for Project Independence. A special thanks to our sponsors for their tremendous support--we couldn't have done it without you! Click here for a recap of the day's festivities and more great photos. Make sure to save the date for next year's walk--Saturday, June 2, 2012.
