NEW YORK, NY- Child Rights and You America (CRY America),  wrapped up its annual CRY Walk 2025 series across the US.

The events successfully mobilized community volunteers, donors, sponsors, and walking enthusiasts in major US cities including Los Angeles, Seattle, New Jersey, Boston, Houston, and San Diego. Each event typically featured a 5K walkalong scenic trails or through community parks, combined with fun activities for students, dance warm-up sessions, and refreshments.

Shefali Sunderlal, President of CRY America, extended thanks to all participants, stating, “We thank everyone who came together to support our CRY Walk events to ensure a better childhood for underprivileged children. Every step is an investment into a child’s future. When we ensure that the rights of children are protected, we create a better world for everyone.”
