Support a Child’s Chance for Change

This hybrid event is a prayer walk and fundraiser to raise scholarship funds and pray for over 18,000 children (babies, toddlers, preschoolers and school aged children) served by Cornerstone.  The scholarships  raised at Wonder Walk/Run provide quality early childhood education, after school camp scholarships for school aged students, nutrition education and three nutritious meals each day to the 0-12 year old economically disadvantaged students attending one of the Rosa Valdez Early Learning Centers and Lab Schools located across Tampa Bay.

Cornerstone has been a beacon of hope for children and families in the Tampa Bay region since 1892 making us one of the oldest ministries in our community. We can only continue with the prayers and support of a generous community.  It costs an average of $3,000 to provide a gap scholarship for one child and our goal is to raise at least $150,000 so that we can provide over half of the 200 scholarships needed each year.  Each scholarship makes it possible for a child to receive a full-time (5 days a week) quality early childhood education or aftercare and 3 nutritious meals a day so that their parents can work and/or go to school to “earn and learn” their way out of the cycle of poverty.
