" Woodward Avenue connects our region so we
decided to create an unprecedented event that
demonstrates our partnership, strength,
heritage, diversity and pride," said Harriet
Saperstein , WA3 Chairperson.
Hands Along Woodward is also part of the WA3's
partnership with Gleaners Community Food Bank to
host a month-long food drive to raise 200,000
pounds of food for metro Detroit .
Parking and bike corrals will be available at
six locations along Woodward: the Fox Garage
(behind Hockeytown Café),
Lots
1 and 2 (across from Comerica Park )
the
Detroit Zoo, Michigan State Fair,
Cranbrook, Lot 9 in Pontiac (adjacent to the
Phoenix Center at the Woodward Loop and Saginaw
St.). Also, SMART will be providing regular
Sunday bus service along Woodward from 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m. free of charge.
Interested parties are urged to register at
www.WoodwardAvenue.org as
individuals, block captains or groups. On the
day of the event there will be approximately 200
block captains at select locations wearing
bright Hands Along Woodward t-shirts who are
available to guide participants to their
locations.
Churches will ring their church bells in unison
at 2:00 p.m. signaling to participants that it
is time to hold hands.
