Walk the Walk 2021

As COVID-19 restrictions begin to ease and our community starts to come together again, our 14th Annual Walk the Walk for Mental Health will take place IN PERSON in a COVID safe way! The Walk will give participants an opportunity to raise funds and advocate for access to mental health services in our community by walking a mile for mental health!

Coordinate efforts and fundraise with a team this year! 100% of your donations provide services for individuals and families without equitable access.

As an added bonus, this year, the School Team with the highest percentage of participation will not only have the honor of receiving THE BIG BLUE SHOE AWARD, but a special PRIZE as well!

The Community Teams with the highest fundraising total and the highest number of participants will also receive special prizes!

How to Walk the Walk:

Register and join/start a Team - Recruit your School Team or your Community Team members and register your team on this page! Each team member will register, but teams will be entered to win the special prize for the most funds raised!

Fundraise - Encourage your team members to ask their friends and family to join the team or make a donation in support of mental health services!

Walk- Show up on May 23 with your team and Walk the 1 mile Walk beginning at The Community House! Exact start times will be based on CDC and IDPH guidelines to allow all participants to remain COVID-19 safe! Masks will be required when walking.

Commemorative t-shirts will be provided to each participant!

The 14th Annual Walk the Walk will provide mental health services to individuals and families right here in DuPage County who would otherwise not have access to therapy.
