On May 20th, The Arc of Somerset County

4th annual "Step Up for The Arc" Walk-a-thon

Freeholder Director Ken Scherer is 2006 Honorary Chair

Many families involved with The Jerry Davis Early Childhood Center, Residential Services, and Camp Jotoni participated last year at Duke Island Park .It starts at 9 AM. Hope to see you there!!

There will be clowns, balloons, a big balloon to walk through (wow), gifts along the walk, great music and entertainment. The Somerset County Sheriff’s Department will process children identification… and there will be lots of food for everyone, as long as we know you are coming. Curves of Manville will do the warm-up exercises.

Last year we raised $16,000. Those funds were used to improve the quality of life for 38 children who attended our daycare programs, and 192 children who needed speech and physical therapy.

We hope to reach even more donors this year, with your help. Every dollar counts, so please add your name to the contributors list. Let us know if it is a contribution in honor of someone you love or a sponsorship of an individual or program at The Arc of Somerset.

We're just getting started. Corporate, school, family & friends teams are encouraged.
