Walk, run, or bike to support adult literacy in our community in BEACON for Adult Literacy’s 2nd Annual Virtual Walkathon, April 10–30, 2022.
The live event will take place on April 30 from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. on the St. Benedict Monastery campus, 9535 Linton Hall Road, Bristow, VA.

Proceeds of the walk benefit BEACON for Adult Literacy, which provides English classes, U.S. Citizenship exam preparation, and job readiness skills training for adults in Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park. BEACON is celebrating 30 years of empowering adult learners in our community and has continued to provide classes and services virtually throughout the COVID-19 national emergency.
“Our students’ efforts to continue learning during these times is an example of hope, perseverance and strength,” says Theresa Brenner, BEACON board chair. “Please join me in supporting our students so they can realize their education and employment goals and make a positive contribution to our community.”
