On August 23, the 5th Annual Walk This Way for CLH reached a whole new level of support and participation. Sponsors, donors, volunteers, team captains, and supporters came together to walk, roll, and stroll, raising more than $30,000 for The Means to Thrive. These funds will help foster well-being, community connection, and meaningful opportunities for every adult, senior, youth, and child supported by CLH Developmental Support Services.
