The Moving Message Walk/Wheel/Roll is an annual fundraising and awareness raising event to be held at Russell Sage College on Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 11:00-2:00. It is open to the public.
The money raised at the event goes into a fund called The Moving Message Fund. This Fund was created due to a significant need in our community. Often when someone has a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or other neurological disorder that interferes with their ability to communicate, there is little financial support for the long-term support they need. This support could fund group sessions, communication devices, communication and other apps, and/or other supports/services necessary to enhance communication and quality of life.
It is a festival like event, complete with motivational speeches, music, raffles, kid’s activities, vendors, artists, food, messages and Bios posted around the quad for raising awareness, and merchandise for sale.
