HOUSTON, Feb. 25, 2020
/PRNewswire/ -- More than 4,000 people will participate in
Walk With Me, a non-competitive 5K or shorter family fun walk, on Saturday, April 25, at the Houston Zoo to raise
awareness and resources for Easter Seals Greater
Houston, which serves veterans, children and adults with all
types of disabilities. The annual event, presented by Prosperity
Bank, is sponsored by Team Industrial Services, Alvarez &
Marsal, the WithMerci Foundation, John
Eagle Honda, Texas Children's Hospital and many other
community supporters. Join the Walk Ambassadors, clients, staff,
underwriters and thousands of others as they journey through the
Houston Zoo to support this great cause and see what happens when
businesses like these set the bar high and engage their employees
through corporate social responsibility. Following the walk, there
is an after-party featuring animal shows, music, food and various
children's' activities held at the Masihara Pavilion inside the
zoo. After the event, participants are welcome to stay and enjoy
the zoo for the remainder of the day.
This year's 9th Annual Walk With Me is chaired
by Richard Holt, Managing Director,
Alvarez & Marsal, and Steve Thompson,
Jr., President, Prosperity Bank Medical Center. Larry Dierker, former Houston Astros Pitcher, Broadcaster and Manager
will also be in attendance serving as Celebrity Chairman. Last
year's walk made it possible for Easter Seals Greater
Houston to proudly serve over 12,000 individuals with
disabilities and their families in 2019 and ESGH knows that number
will continue to grow as 1 in 6 babies are born with a
developmental delay or disability. Community support of Walk With
Me is a gift to many families in the greater Houston area who
benefit from the agency's high quality, low cost services.

child with a disability! Anyone interested in walking can register
