Benton House of Covington Honors Walking Club Members and Supports Local Charity
Covington, GA – July 1, 2025 – On Friday, Benton House of Covington proudly celebrated the achievements of its dedicated Walking Club members by presenting them with milestone shirts in partnership with the local nonprofit, The Newton County Miracle League. The special event was made even more memorable with appearances from athletes representing both the Braves and the Rangers.
Following the presentation, residents and Miracle League athletes enjoyed a refreshing treat from the Great White Shaved Ice Truck. The celebration recognized the hard work and determination of residents who have committed themselves to walking for a cause. To date, Benton House of Covington has walked nearly 900 miles in 2025!
A special recognition was given to resident Ed P., who has walked over 1,000 miles since joining the Benton House family in 2019 — all in support of charity. His dedication embodies the spirit of the national Benton House Walking Club initiative, where communities across the country walk to raise funds for charitable organizations in their community. The location with the highest total miles earns a $2,500 donation to their chosen charity.
“We’re so proud of our residents and grateful for the Miracle League athletes who joined us to celebrate these incredible achievements,” said Sharon White, Executive Director of Benton House of Covington. “This event highlights the power of community, movement, and giving back.”
