Participants walked either a 5K or one mile and were able to take part in family-friendly activities as well.
'We have the YMCA doing line dancing, we have the walks and all the help, and I love seeing the dogs and children and all the fun,' said Michelle Smiley, the director of the walk. 'We have a scavenger hunt for them, it's just, we have a wonderful day of engagement with the community, it's beautiful.'
Smiley said they raised almost $35,000 this year.
