5K Environment Walk/Run
September 14, 2024
On Saturday, September 14, 2024, members of IPSMCC, our community partners, family and friends met at Indian Head Trail to walk for a great cause – Scholarships! With the help of our community and sponsors, we raised over $4,500 to help local students pursue their dream of obtaining a higher education. As we walked, we were provided with information about the importance of protecting our environment and ways that we can help make a difference. Walking the beautiful trail was a great reminder that we are incredibly lucky to have beautiful green spaces. Let’s work to keep them that way! Finally, we would like to give a special thank you to our sponsors Charles County, Maryland Department of Health, iWorksCorp, and the Silver Hill Lions Club.
