WHAT: This annual community walkathon stands for “Communities Reaching Out to People”. Working in partnership with local organizations in more than 80 countries, CWS supports sustainable self-help development, meets emergency needs (including hurricane relief), aids refugees, and helps address the root causes of poverty and powerlessness, without regard to religion, race or ethnicity. The Apex/Holly Springs Area CROP Walk is a community-wide effort with participation from schools, religious groups, businesses, clubs and many caring individuals. To learn more visit www.cropwalk.org
