Munroe-Meyer Foundation’s Walk & Roll for Disabilities Set for March 4

Star Wars characters. Face painting. Musicians. Clowns. And a chance to help a great cause.

The 14th Annual Walk & Roll for Disabilities, sponsored by the Meyer Foundation for Disabilities, will be held at 10:30 a.m. March 4 at the Oak View Mall. The event raises funds for programming for adult with intellectual and developmental disabilities at the University of Nebraska Medical Center Munroe-Meyer Institute, including activities such as a cooking club and an adult outing club.

Participants this year can look forward to appearances by the 501st Garrison, aka Star Wars group, clowns Dearheart and Friends, face painting, a disc jockey, and photos by Party Pics To Go, as well as a continental breakfast provided by Family Fare Supermarkets. The Omaha Burke Sparkles and Omaha Burke Drum Line will perform as well as the Rubber Chicken band.

Non-profit organizations with programs for adults with developmental disabilities will have literature available.

Registration is $30. Online registration is open through March 1. At the event registration will take place from 9-10:30 a.m. All donations must be turned in by 10:15 a.m. on March 4 to be eligible for a drawing for a free iPad for individuals raising more than $500 (excluding registration fees).
