The Jewish Association for Developmental Disabilities (J-ADD), a non-profit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to helping all individuals with developmental disabilities and their families, will hold its Annual Walkathon on Sunday, October 22, at 11:00 a.m. at Van Saun Park, Paramus.

J-ADD serves over 200 families in Bergen County. The agency provides respite care to families who have family members with developmental disabilities living at home; housing for adults with developmental disabilities; and advocacy, community awareness and holiday celebrations to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.

This year’s walk is expected to be bigger and more successful than before. The Walkathon will help the agency raise needed funds in this era of state fiscal austerity in order to continue to provide and increase its high level of services to the community of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

There will be entertainment and refreshments, and prizes provided for all participants, making this a truly fun and exciting family day.

Everyone is welcome to participate in the Walkathon.
