Angel Wings Network, Inc is excited to be doing both a live event at City Park in Weiser, Idaho as well as a virtual walk/run event this year! The in-person event will take place October 9^th, 2021 from 10am to about 12pm and video submissions for the virtual event can be submitted the week of the event.

Mabel Dobbs, executive director, has shared that the nonprofit has had a very busy year thus far and the support needs are many. “We are on target to give out the most fuel cards this year that we have ever done in our 13-year history. So, we need your help and support to continue this unprecedented support.” As most of you know, Angel Wings Network provides FREE services and resources to local cancer patients within a 70-mile radius of Weiser.

In a letter going out to past supporters, Dobbs also commented, “All of us have been touched by cancer of some form in our lives. What better way to support and honor those we love and care about with the formation of a team and walking in honor or in memory of those loved ones and friends.” Join us in person or virtually, and if you cannot participate in one, consider making a donation in honor or in memory of someone you love.

Registration is $25.00 per person. Children 10 and under are FREE and pets are also FREE! Your $25.00 registration donation buys a fuel card, fleece for a prayer blanket, or a “Cancer Now What” resource book. Teams are welcomed and highly encouraged!
