🧦 As part of our new honor and memorial activity at the walk, we invite you to bring a new pair of socks on event day (9/7). Pick a pair of socks that remind you of your loved one. Socks will be displayed with your loved one's name on the day of the walk and then donated to local community partners following the walk in their honor.

 

Individual Indy Walkers who raise $1,600+ by August 1st in honor of our Indiana Chapter's 16th birthday will be recognized on walk day. (This is for individual fundraisers, not team totals.)
