Part I
About this event
The 1K For Kids event by Casa de Corazón is more than just a walk; it's a community-driven effort to support vulnerable children in Peru. This year, the event expands across Minnesota and Wisconsin, bringing together families and local partners to raise awareness and funds for NPH Peru. The walk is themed “Tradition Woven Into Every Detail,” highlighting the rich cultural heritage of the children being supported.
Participants will enjoy a day filled with community spirit and intercultural connections, all while contributing to a meaningful cause. Whether you're walking with family or friends, this event offers a unique opportunity to make a tangible impact on children's lives, providing them with essential resources like education and healthcare. It's a day of fun, purpose, and unity.
