FAQ

All walkers who register and self-donate $20 at the time of registration will receive a Hope Walks Long Sleeve T-Shirt.

We hope to have an in-person t-shirt pick up for those who have self-donated to receive a t-shirt. We will be following social distancing guidelines and recommendations from health and government officials.  We will have more information as we get closer to the event. If we are unable to host an in person t-shirt pick up, we will do our best to mail t-shirts prior to the event.

Since the 2020 Hope Walks has gone fully virtual, we will not need volunteers. The only way to participate is to register to walk.
