Upbring’s Hope in Motion Walk
Did you know April is Child Abuse Prevention Month? Join Upbring in support of Texas children and families for their 2nd Annual Hope in Motion State-Wide Walk during Child Abuse Prevention Month. Across the state, Upbring is encouraging everyone to walk, urging communities to actively participate and unite in a powerful effort to shed light on child abuse and neglect in Texas.
Walk with Upbring at their FREE events in Austin at the State Capitol at 12:00pm or Dallas at Kiest Park at 11:00am on Wednesday, April 30th. For those unable to join their organized walks in Austin and Dallas, you are encouraged to walk independently in your local community as part of our ‘My Walk, My Why’ Virtual Walk Event and ask family, friends, or coworkers to join you.
