Bridge Walk

Swiftly becoming a New York City tradition, United Way of New York City's LIVE UNITED Bridge Walk & Festival draws thousands of New Yorkers, community leaders, and teams from the business, government and nonprofit sectors to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge in an effort to raise awareness of the need to "bridge" critical gaps in education, income stability and health that affect poor and low-income New Yorkers.  After the walk, participants gather in Cadman Plaza Park to enjoy a festival featuring live music, food, activities for children and youth, plus dozens of nonprofit organizations from all five boroughs offering volunteer opportunities for New Yorkers of all ages.

The 2011 Bridge Walk was generously sponsored by Skanska USA, Guardian and National Grid, and the Festival was co-presented by NYC Service.  View photos here. Visit liveunitednyc.org for more information on this year's Bridge Walk.
