What is the Walk route? We're happy to be back at Veterans Park! We'll begin walking along Milwaukee's beautiful lakefront and we're sure to catch the city's attention as we make our way down Lincoln Memorial Drive. This is a 5K route, participants can choose to walk as much or as little as they would like. 

If I raise enough money, will my whole team get a shirt?
No. The event shirts are only given to individuals who raise $150. If your whole team wants a shirt, each member must raise $150.

Is there a fundraising minimum?
No, but 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!

Can I register at the Walk? Yes!  You can register in-person at the Walk from the time check-in begins until the walk starts. Walk donations are accepted until December 31st.
