For the past nine years, Cornerstone Reproductive Health has held a Walk for Life event, featuring a 5K walk, a flag football tournament and children's activities that took place at Salisbury Township Park in Gap. This year, the event will be held at a new venue, and, instead of flag football, an amateur cornhole tournament will be featured.

The 10th annual Walk for Life, titled Walk. Play. Celebrate Life., will take place on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at New Holland Church of the Nazarene, 428 Ranck Road, New Holland.

"Since it is the 10th annual, we decided to switch things up," explained Olivia Imchen, Cornerstone's director of client services and advancement, noting that New Holland is approximately a 15-minute drive from the Gap park. "New Holland is a central location, so we're hoping that brings in more of the community."

"(The 5K) will be on the walking trail behind the church," she added. "The trail is about a mile long, so (walkers) will do three loops for it to be a 5K."

The walk is open to people of all ages, and prizes will be awarded to the individual walker and team of walkers who collect the most funds from sponsorships.

"Children will get a passport (representing) nine months (of gestation)," said Imchen. "There will be stations along the walk for 14 weeks, 28 weeks, etc., and once they get the passport full for all nine months, they will get a prize."

She added that cornhole was chosen as a new component because it is a fun and popular activity. "People can sign up in pairs (for cornhole)," she said, noting that participants can register in advance for the walk and for cornhole. "Prizes will be awarded for the first-, second- and third-place winners of the tournament.

Offered during the day will be free food, including hot dogs, popcorn, chips and cookies. "When people register, they will get a pack of tickets, and they can (redeem) them for free food," Imchen noted.

A free Kids Zone will also be available. Featured will be face painting, a balloon artist, an inflatable obstacle course and an appearance by Dr. Bubbles, who creates giant bubbles.

Cornerstone serves as a resource for women experiencing unexpected pregnancies. It offers free pregnancy testing, ultrasound and prenatal and parenting incentive programs, along with other services.

The agency recently opened a mobile medical unit. Currently, it is stationed at Solid Rock Youth Ministries in Quarryville on Mondays from 1 to 5 p.m. "The (mobile unit) will be parked at the event this year," Imchen noted.
