FAQs

Is there a registration fee? There is no registration fee or fundraising minimum to participate. We strongly encourage each participant to set a $150 fundraising goal to help support AFSP's work to stop suicide and receive the official walk t-shirt! |
If I raise enough money, will my whole team get a shirt? The event shirts are only given to individuals who raise $150 by 10/26/2024. If your whole team wants a shirt, each member must raise $150. |

How do I change my team status? If you're already registered and looking to create a new team or join an existing one, simply log into your account and click "change team membership". |
Can I register at the Walk? You can register or donate in-person at the Walk by scanning a QR code. Walk donations are accepted until December 31st. Why the changes in venue? We were notified on Friday September 27th that due to unforeseen maintenance causing a public safety risk, we will have to move our event off the Capitol Grounds. We thought we had a new venue secured. Unfortunately that venue fell through due to circumstances outside of our control. We are so grateful to St. Edwards and the many people in the Austin Community who came together to identify somewhere for our event to take place without having to move dates. Overall, we hope that this new venue will provide a better event experience.
