In recognition of October being National Bullying Prevention Month, the third annual Aroostook Unite Against Bullying Walk, Run or Roll will be held on Saturday, October 22nd at the Caribou Recreation Department.
This event will help spread the message of bullying prevention by rallying the community together to raise awareness and educate on this important issue.
Registration for the Walk, Run or Roll will begin at 1 p.m. with the event kicking off at 2 p.m. Participants can take part for $10 and will receive a Unite Against Bullying T-shirt while supplies last.
All net proceeds from the walk will benefit awareness and education on bullying prevention in the County.
“With 77 percent of school-aged children and teens being verbally and physically abused daily, the time to stop bullying is now. It takes a strong supportive community to raise resilient children. Bullying ends with you! Please consider joining us this year at the walk!” said organicer Kim Parent of the Aroostook Substance Abuse Prevention, who sponsors the event with the Caribou Parks and Recreation Department.
