The 2022 Flip Flop Walk is happening - rain or shine!
After a two-year hiatus, we're not letting the rain stop us from walking together!
Here's what you need to prepare and be protected by the elements.
- A poncho or hooded waterproof jacket;
- A pair of walking boots or synthetic mesh athletic (tennis) shoes;
- A pair of leggings, joggers, or even shorts are best for keeping the rain at bay and are fast drying!
- And, don't forget your umbrella!
PS: We LOVE our furbabies, but Avalon Community Hall is restricted to humans. Dogs are not permitted on the Avalon beach, boardwalk, or dunes anytime between March 1st and September 30th.
The Flip Flop Walk in Avalon is BACK!
The Parkinson Council is proud to partner with the Storbeck Family to celebrate the 13th Annual Flip Flop Walk in Avalon (FFW2022)! Funds raised at this event help The Parkinson Council invest local dollars back into our local community for research, comprehensive care, movement programs, and quality of life initiatives.
Inspired by the Storbeck Family and their journey with Parkinson's disease, FFW2022 is scheduled for Saturday, July 9th. Registration and check-in start at 8:00 am. Registration is $35 and includes an official t-shirt* and pair of decorative flip-flops!
Our goal is to raise $25,000!
The 2-mile walk starts at the Avalon Community Hall and winds down the Avalon boardwalk looping to Avalon Drive to return to the community hall for cool sweet treats and beach-themed raffle items!
*For folks registering after 12 pm on Friday, July 8th, your t-shirt size is not guaranteed.
