6th Annual Walk-A-Thon Honoring Anaija

Every year, the Community Prep community comes together for our annual Tomorrow Fund Walk-a-Thon in memory of my sister, Anaija Griffin, Class of 2020.

This event has always meant a lot to me and my family. It's a chance to remember Anaija while also giving back to an organization that was there for us when we needed it most.

The Tomorrow Fund is a Providence-based nonprofit organization that provides financial and emotional support to families whose children are battling cancer at Hasbro Children's Hospital. During my sister's battle with cancer, the Tomorrow Fund was a huge support system for my family, helping us get through one of the hardest times in our lives. Being able to give back to them through this walk is something that will always be special to me.

Throughout the day, students and staff wore blue, Anaija's favorite color, to honor her memory. Everywhere you looked, you could see students walking. At pretty much any point during the day, there was at least one group outside getting their laps in and showing their support.

I want to thank everyone who participated, wore blue, and helped make this year's walk another meaningful one. My family and I truly appreciate the love and support, and it means so much to see Anaija's memory continue to live on through our community.
