Boardman community walks for neurofibromatosis
This summer, members of the Boardman community are working together to raise money for a community cause while enjoying the outdoors.
The Boardman Township Park consists of over 200 acres of green space; it is a green oasis in the Boardman offering a huge diversity of native plants and animals that call the park home. This park will offer a calm background for the #NFStrong Boardman Walk.
Neurofibromatosis is a genetic condition present from birth, and is thought to be one of the most prevalent and rare genetic diseases in the US. It causes tumors to grow on nerves anywhere in the body. This walk is set to raise awareness and funds for those suffering from this condition.
Organizers are keen to stress that #NFStrong Boardman is a walk, not a race, and is meant to bring the Boardman community together to experience the scenery of the park, raise awareness of neurofibromatosis, and enjoy a wonderful morning while raising funds.
Fundraising events will also often offer free swag for attendees and/or prizes for fundraisers. Organizers of fundraising events like these often use printing services to create promotional products for the big day.
The 5K #NFStrong Boardman walk on July 19, 2025 starts at 10am. Check-in opens at 9:00 am. Virtual walking is also an alternative. Information on how to register for the in-person or virtual walk can be found on the event's website.
