4th Annual Walk to Hope,

About the event

What IS Walk to Hope?

This is a virtual, month-long step challenge that takes place where you are – in your home, neighborhood, gym, the park…. anywhere and anytime you can walk, run, bike, or roll!

Why Walk?

Now more than ever, the world needs future leaders who become changemakers in their workplaces and communities. But the reality is that too many young people still face systemic barriers and social conditions that challenge their ability to reach their full potential.

Since 1977, Boys Hope Girls Hope has taken a long-term, holistic, and highly individualized approach to supporting these young people on their journeys. We nurture and guide them to become well-educated, career-ready people for others, changing life trajectories by creating opportunities for economic and social mobility they would never otherwise have.

Our programming spans the critical middle and high school years, with alumni support extending through postsecondary education and career launch. Your support of Walk to Hope ensures that we can continue to bring people of many backgrounds together so that amazing things happen when talent and opportunity intersect. Join them on their journey with every step you log. The ripple effect of hope can reach far!

Why should you sponsor?

Here are some great reasons why:

Social Responsibility: Walk to Hope is a fun and fitness-oriented way for your employees and colleagues to invest themselves in the community. Because of its geographic scope, you can build momentum and camaraderie by forming a company-wide team or encourage healthy competition by forming regional teams!

Visibility: Last year’s Walk to Hope drew over 500 walkers from 29 states and four countries who received many messages featuring sponsor names and logos. We also tout sponsor involvement on our website, the Charity Footprints app, and strategic communications on our social media channels.

Exponential Influence: Each walker can leverage greater impact by raising funds from friends, family, and corporate matching through the Charity Footprints app. Each person can also choose to support the scholars and collegians at a specific affiliate, or all our youth through Boys Hope Girls Hope Network Headquarters.
