2011 Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community

The Mentoring Partnership helped to celebrate the 2011 Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community on Saturday, May 21, 2011 at Heinz Field. Mentors, mentees and MPSWPA supporters showed up to enjoy a day full of sunshine and good fun. A 5k and one-mile fun walk were held for participants and even some of our four-legged friends got involved in the action. It was a great day for everyone...thanks to all who supported The Mentoring Partnership!
