The eighth annual Mission Hill Walk for Health will take place on Saturday, September 20. Participants will meet in front of the Mission Main Resident Services Building at 39 Smith Street to register at 9 a.m. The walk begins at 10 a.m. The Division of Public Health Practice at HSPH helps to sponsor the annual fundraiser. All proceeds support local youth programs, such as Mission PRIDE, Sociedad Latina, Inc., Mission Hill After-School Program, Mission Hill School, Whittier Youth Service and Enrichment Program, Mission SAFE, Roxbury Tenants of Harvard, and Project LIFE, Inc. Last year, more than $41,000 was raised. This years goal is $75,000. The three-mile walk wends through the Mission Hill neighborhood. Pledge sheets are available at the table by the Security Desk in the Kresge Building and at the Division of Public Health Practice at 1552 Tremont Street. Following the walk, there will be a Health Fair with food, music, prizes and activities for children. There is no rain date.
