The chief beneficiary of this event is Cribs for Kids, a national crib giveaway program promoting safe sleep for newborns.

Walk with mothers and their children at 9am. The trot will begin at the historic Mt. Zion AME church at the intersection for Newman and Beaver streets and end at Hemming Plaza. Children will be treated to games at the end of the event.
