Best Buddies Pennsylvania
The Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community is an annual fundraising walk that benefits local health and human service agencies in Pennsylvania. There is no registration fee for the walk, and Highmark underwrites the cost of the walk so that 100 percent of the money raised by walkers goes to the participating organizations, including Best Buddies Pennsylvania!
The primary goal of the walk is to help participating organizations raise money for their individual missions. The secondary goal of the walk is to energize community members to have a greater hand in their health by becoming or staying physically active.
You can support Best Buddies Pennsylvania by joining us in the Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Bethlehem Walks. For more information, please visit www.bestbuddiespennsylvania.org/highmark
