Friendship Circle’
s communi-
ty of supporters and friends 
were “
Apart But Close In 
Heart’
” Sept. 6 for the annual 
Walk4Friendship. 
Because of COVID-19, 
the annual sea of purple 
seen winding through West 
Bloomfield gave way to 
smaller waves of walkers 
donning Friendship Circle’
s 
signature tees, as individual 
teams walked through Metro 
Detroit’
s neighborhoods and 
parks, on the routes of their 
choosing. 

“The comradery 
and connections that 
Walk4Friendship offers 
are vital not only for 
Friendship Circle itself, but 
for the thousands of Metro 
Detroiters with special 
needs,
” said Bassie Shemtov, 
director and co-founder of 
Friendship Circle. “This year’
s 
Walk4Friendship shows that 
miles of separation due to 
COVID are no match for the 
love and respect that unite us.
” 
 
The event raised $468,947 
toward a $500,000 goal.
