AUGUSTA — The St. Michael School and Travis Mills Walk-A-Thon has been rescheduled to Wednesday, May 25.
The event will be held at the school at 56 Sewall St.
For weeks, students at St. Michael School in Augusta have gathered pledges from their families, friends, and community members. Garnering support is not difficult once potential donors are told of who will benefit from their generosity: wounded veterans and the families served by the Travis Mills Foundation, according to a news release from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland.
The event will begin with a speech from Mills himself in the school gym at 9 a.m., followed by the students walking laps around the school block with parent volunteers supervising.
A barbecue lunch will be offered to students and staff at 11 a.m.
For more information, call the school at 207-623-3491. A business interested in donating can email Jenn Sparda at [email protected].
