Our Walk Mission and Why We Walk

The goals of the Joy Walk are to raise $1 million and provide 1 million hours of joy through essential mental health services and resources. By joining this event, you support those battling mental health challenges, honor the memory of those we have lost, and stand in solidarity with everyone on their mental health journey. Your participation and contributions will directly fund initiatives that offer crucial support and care, ensuring mental health is prioritized alongside physical health.

The Heart of the Joy Walk focuses on three key areas:

In Honor: Celebrating the lives and contributions of those who have supported mental health.
In Memory: Remembering those who have tragically lost their lives in the battle against mental illness.
In Support: Walking in joy to support those currently battling mental health challenges and advocating for a world where mental health is treated with the same importance as physical health.

Our walk is driven by a purpose:

Fundraising for a Purpose: Raising funds to provide essential mental health services and resources.
Emotional Impact: Sharing powerful testimonies from those who have benefited from mental health support and resources, highlighting the strength and resilience of our community.
Engage & Inspire: Motivating participants to become advocates for mental health in their own communities, creating lasting memories, and fostering a sense of accomplishment and connection.

Our ambitious targets for the 2024 Joy Walk are:

100,000 participants
$1 million raised
1 million joy hours achieved

To make the event even more engaging, we are offering various incentives for participants. These include exclusive Joy Walk merchandise, recognition on our social media platforms, and special awards for top fundraisers and most creative team participation. By walking together, we aim to spark conversations, foster understanding, and create a community dedicated to mental health awareness and support.
