Diversity Center
10th Annual Walk, Rock & Run!
Kick Off - March 23, 2012


The Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio kicked off its 10th Annual Walk, Rock and Run on Friday, March 23, 2012.

Diversity Center Walk, Rock and Run

Walk, Rock & Run unifies communities across Northeast Ohio while raising awareness of diversity issues.

Since 2002, The Diversity Center has partnered with The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum to host Walk, Rock & Run which celebrates diversity. Artists, entertainers, and community sponsors provide great music, delicious food, and other family entertainment. All participants gain free entry into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Great Lakes Science Center, and Baseball Heritage Museum.

All proceeds support The Diversity Center’s School & Youth initiatives in nine Northeast Ohio counties.

This year's event is on Saturday, May 5, 2012 and starts and ends at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's a 3 mile walk or a 5k run and whatever you choose it will help support The Diversity Center's School & Youth initiatives in nine Northeast Ohio counties.

The kick-off was held at Windows on the River and provided a chance to hear some success stories from recipients of the Diversity Center's good work. It also gave some of the sponsors an opportunity to explain why their company feels it is so important to be involved. The issues of respect, pride and individual worth were stressed.

The All City Jazz Band entertained as people entered.
