CANTON -- The sixth Shawna's Walk for Wishes, to benefit the Make A Wish Foundation and the Double H Ranch, is set for Nov. 1 from St. Lawrence University’s Newell Fieldhouse.

The event will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The walk begins at noon.

Local food from The Bagelry, Park Brothers Coffee, Josie’s Pizza, Johnston’s H2O, Agen Distributing, and Sugar Valley Bakery will be featured.

Other attractions include bounce houses, T-shirt printing, a dance competition, photo booth, temporary tattoos, face painting, bracelet making and more.

Walk entry fees are a $5 minimum for individuals, $15 for a family of four, and more group rates, $30 for a group of six to 10, $45 for 11 to 20 people, $50 for 21 to 30 people, and $100 for a group of 31 to 50 people.

Make A Wish is the well known organization that tries to grant wishes for very ill children. The Double H Ranch, in Lake Luzerne, N.Y., provides free specialized programs and year-round support for children and their families dealing with life-threatening illnesses. With support from local businesses and the community, the “Shawna’s Wishes” group has raised over $42,000 to date to grant wishes to children within St. Lawrence County. Shawna is thrilled this year to extend the generosity to the Double H Ranch where her family has visited many times. Shawna and her family hope to raise $10,000 this year, and are asking for help in meeting the goal.
