💙 Bedford Co Cares – A Walk for Junior’s House 💙

We are proud to support the work of our Youth Leadership Bedford students, who have chosen to lead and organize Bedford Co Cares – A Walk for Junior’s House as part of a service project focused on awareness, compassion and community impact.

This awareness walk is designed to shine a light on the important work of Junior’s House, a child advocacy center that protects, heals and advocates for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Through this effort, funds raised will directly support services for children and families right here in Bedford County — while also helping educate our community about why this work matters.

The walk will take place on Saturday, March 21, 2026, and is open to students, families, school groups, teams and community partners. Participants are invited to walk together in unity, honor survivors and show visible support for children across our county.

As an added bonus, this walk is a great conditioning opportunity for students and community members preparing for the #CC5K in May, making it a meaningful way to stay active while giving back.

➡ Sponsorship opportunities: Call 931-629-8684.

Through leadership, service, and awareness, our Youth Leadership Bedford students are showing how small steps—taken together—can make a big difference. 💙👟
