The American Heroes Walk will take place on Saturday, March 5 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. This event is hosted by Habitat for Humanity of Lake-Sumter and will be located at the Veterans Memorial Park in downtown Leesburg. The event is free and open to the public. RoMac Lumber will donate $5 to Habitat’s Veterans Village for every person who takes the short lap around the lake. The pathway is paved, so it is accessible to anyone who wants to take a stand for our Veteran Heroes. Participants will also receive a patriotic pin.
In addition to the walk there will be other activities throughout the day such as local vendors, tiny hour tours, a corn hole challenge with chances to win prizes, and a raffle with a chance to win a grill. At 11 a.m. there will be a special Veterans presentation on stage followed by local BBQ for sale. All proceeds from The American Heroes Walk benefit Habitat of Lake-Sumter’s Veterans Village. The Veterans Village is a 22 home planned unit development in the heart of downtown Leesburg specifically designed for veterans and active military families.
