On Monday, June 8, more than 300 supporters of Survivor Resources gathered together for our 13th annual nonprofit fundraiser, Walk to Remember, Walk for Hope. Over $50,000 was raised for our organization this year, which helps support our work with individuals dealing with the loss of a loved one due to homicide, suicide, overdose or accidental death.

We were thankful for a beautiful Minnesota evening, and enjoyed our time walking around Lake Como in St. Paul. Divine Swine served a delicious barbeque in the Como Park East Pavilion. We were visited by the St. Paul police department’s K-9 unit and mounted patrol. At dusk, those who wished to light a candle in memory of the loved one they lost, were able to do so.

Afterwards, we enjoyed cake in commemoration of our 20th anniversary.

This year, many participants preregistered and raised fund through an online portal provided by FirstGiving.com, and Survivor Resources awarded the first 50 registrants a free t-shirt. The entrance fee was $50 and included the entire night’s events.
