(AP) — Participants from schools, businesses and other organizations in the “Walk at Lunch Day” event across the state raised $5,000 for state trails.

Hundreds of walkers from 468 schools and businesses across the state participated April 30 in the event, sponsored by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska. For every school, business or organization that participated in the event, Blue Cross and Blue Shield donated $20 to the Nebraska Game and Parks Foundation and the Special Olympics.

The $5,000 received by Game and Parks will benefit the trails system at Platte River State Park.
