A Walk!

Every year our mother's group does a walk at the zoo or a park. It actually raises money for various things surrounding breastfeeding. It might help fund a scholarship for someone to take the IBCLC exam or buy books for a local pregnancy clinic on breastfeeding (for the docs, midwives and patients).
