Greater Houston Area Walk

Join us on November 9, 2024

Thank you to our walkers, teams, sponsors and volunteers!

We will be accepting donations until 12/31/24, don't forget about matching gifts!

Matching gifts are a great opportunity to double the impact of your contribution to AFSP! Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions or volunteer hours made by their employees. Some companies with a matching gift policy may double or even triple the amount of your original gift and will even match gifts from spouses and/or retirees. Find out if your company matches here!
