BAPS Charities hosts Walk Green 2018 in Warrington, PA

Community members of all ages came out with their families to support the annual BAPS Charities Walk Green 2018 in Warrington Township, PA on Saturday June 9, 2018 marks the third year that the annual BAPS Charities walkathon will benefit The Nature Conservancy and their effort to conserve the lands and waters on earth to sustain life for upcoming generations. BAPS Charities will contribute $165,000, an equivalent of planting 130,000 trees, to The Nature Conservancy to support their initiative to plant a billion trees globally by 2025. In addition to supporting this global effort, this year’s BAPS Charities walkathon also supported CB Cares Educational Foundation for second straight year. CB Cares is a nonprofit organization serving the Central Bucks School District and dedicated to enriching the experience and education of students through innovative learning grants and developmental programs that promote responsible and resilient youth. Their focus is to foster youth development and create a stronger community by serving as a catalyst by engaging people, organizations and businesses in the community.

Over 160 participants attended these walks. Prior to the walk, a flag was flown over the United States capitol to honor these BAPS Charities walks. This flag was presented at the events where Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick exclaimed, “involvement of your children in such activities is one of the biggest thing that impresses me about this community”
Hardika Patel from Warrington, who has participated in the BAPS Charities Walk Green efforts for the past six years said “Coming here today and supporting BAPS Charities and seeing them join forces with both the Nature Conservancy and CB Cares Educational Foundation makes me proud of how we are making a change in both our local community as well as on a larger scale across the world,”

Commenting on activities of BAPS Charities, Pennsylvania State Representative Todd Stephens

said, “Just an unbelievable accomplishment and achievement, and that goal of 1 billion trees is
so admirable and I am certain you will reach that goal. Thank you for the great work you are
doing in our community, all the people that you are helping and all of the folks you are serving
through your charitable endeavors.”
BAPS Charities uses these opportunities to instill a spirit of service and commitment to preservation and environmental responsibility in community members. Events such as this help instill consciousness in community members surrounding their actions, and, in turn, helps inspire global harmony with nature.
