Abundant thanks for your support of Friendship Circle and our MyWalk4Friends team over the years, whether you have walked, donated, or both. Please know that your help has made a profound difference in the lives of all the children and families touched by Friendship Circle every day. MyWalk4Friends is an incredible event that brings joy and inclusion to children, teens and young adults of all abilities. Every step we take helps build a more compassionate community!

The name of our team is now Reva’s Chesed, formerly Team Reva OBM and Roscoe OBM. Roscoe, my late beloved cat and our mascot since our team’s inception in 2011, would approve. It was time for a change. We walk in loving memory of Dr. Reva Leizman, whose courage, determination and selfless devotion to countless mitzvot were an inspiration to all. Friendship Circle was close to her heart. We also, at the same time, remember all of our departed loved ones who were committed to beautiful acts of chesed in their lifetimes. I encourage you to bring their names to the walk so that their names can be kept in mind as we walk, and, if you can’t attend, to send me their names, if you like, to be read.

The Walk is set for Sunday, September 6th.

Will you join in support of Reva’s Chesed again this year?

With gratitude and best wishes,
Naomi Stein
