Jews in the D
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.
