Beach Charity
Richstone Pier-to-Pier Walkathon
The Richstone Family Center raised over $120,000 during its 29th Annual Pier to-Pier Walkathon on April 30. State Assemblyman David Hadley and KTLA Meteorologist Vera Jimenez kick off the event. Participants solicited pledges from supporters and walked from the Manhattan Beach Pier to the Hermosa Beach Pier and back. Red and white balloons and free Cream’wiches from Manhattan Beach Creamery were presented to the walkers at the finish line.
The Richstone Family Center is “dedicated to preventing and treating child abuse and trauma; strengthening and educating families; and decreasing violence in families, schools and communities.” B
