The 5K/10K Walk/Run began at Lower Manning Park in Montecito. The Walk/Run supports The Fellowship Club at the Mental Wellness Center, Santa Barbara’s only rehabilitation and social center for adults and families affected by mental illness. The Friends of the Mental Wellness Center, a volunteer auxiliary composed of community members concerned about the recent dramatic reduction in public funding of some Mental Wellness Center services, are the organizers of the Walk/Run.
Donations can still be made throughout the week for the benefit here or by calling (805) 884-8440. 100% of funds support The Fellowship Club at the Mental Wellness Center.
