Description

EJ's Parade of Hope is an annual free family-friendly one-mile walk, run, or bike fun day for child safety. It was commemorated in the United States on May 25, 1983, when it was first proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan. It falls on the same day as International Missing Children's Day, which was established in 2001. On May 25, 2013, Mayor Bruce Rose proclaimed May 25th National Missing Children's Day in Wilson, N.C. We are honored to be able to continue to raise awareness for such a cause. Please join us Saturday, May 27th, 2023 for EJ's Parade of Hope to remember the children who are missing and to give hope to their families.
