We walk to bring awareness of the successes and the empowerment of people with disabilities through the community service programs of Mountain State Centers for Independent Living.
We walk to bring awareness of the Tri-State Literacy Council's mission to raise the literacy levels of adults, thus empowering them to a greater level of independence.
MTSTCIL and TSLC, their friends, neighbors, local businesses and their legislative representatives walk together to raise money to ensure the continuation of these important programs.
Mountain State Centers for Independent Living and the Tri-State Literacy Council invites everyone in the community to participate in our seventh annual walk - Walk for Independence 2010. We have provided a broad range of sponsorship opportunities to support all our sponsors.
