For the fourth year, Barco’s Nightingales Foundation will walk with RMHC in their annual Walk for Children.  Since its inception in 2008, Barco’s Nightingales Foundation has been on a mission to lift the lives of children around the world in honor of nurses. 
Michael Donner and Friends
Since then, we have been able to make a difference in the lives of 18,950 children and their families by the donation of our donors:
**2600 cleft palate and burn surgeries were funded with ReSurge International
**400 children living with cancer were sponsored for camperships at Ronald McDonald for Good Times®
**165 nights at Ronald McDonald House® for families of children undergoing treatment
**4 solar wells were built in Haiti that provide 20,000 gallons of safe drinking water each day for 16,000 children and adults through Hispaniola Ministries.
In 2011, Barco’s Nightingales Foundation accepted an offer from Camp Ronald McDonald’s Walk for Kids to have a walk within their Walk For Kids.  Each year goals are set for funds raised during the walk and each year, these are met or surpassed.  
This year the goals for the Walk For Kids include raising enough money for 450 surgeries, camperships at Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times for 75 children, and to build three to four solar wells that will provide clean water for 12,000-16,000 children and their families.
The 5k (3.1 mile) walk will be held at the Exposition Park, 700 Exposition Drive, on April 6, 2014 with registration beginning at 7 a.m. and the walk starting at 8 a.m.
We hope you will join us in the fun and help us reach our goal.  When you arrive for the walk, look for the Camp Ronald McDonald Walk for Kids signs and then find the Barco’s Nightingales Booth for registration. Be sure to join us at the entrance to the Coliseum for a group picture.  More information on the photo will be at the Barco’s booth.
