It was another beautiful
“Jeffrey Day” as nearly 250 walkers
participated in the 4th annual
Jeffrey Thomas Hayden Foundation 5K
Family Fun Walk on Saturday May 10th
at West Chester’s Ronald Reagan VOA
Park. The park was alive with
laughter, music, food, prizes along
with the great dedication of our
many friends and volunteers.
Together, we made a difference in
the fight against pediatric brain
cancer.

support the mission of the
Foundation. Many, many thanks to
event Chairperson, Kate Miller and
all our, volunteers, and walkers for
another successful walk. Thanks also
