Through a unique approach, this nation-wide initiative allowed each city to support causes that mattered most to their communities. This year, the Walk-Run supported over 50 local organizations-from fire and police departments to groups serving veterans, seniors, women, and the homeless. More than 20 health-focused nonprofits also benefited, including those advancing mental health, cancer care, and family wellness. Several schools and education programs received support as well-underscoring how the Walk continues to make a meaningful impact in neighborhoods across the country.

The volunteer effort highlighted a quiet but profound spirit of service, as families and individuals set out to make a difference. From 16-year-old Aarav Dubal lacing his sneakers in Robbinsville, New Jersey, to seniors walking with canes in Los Angeles, California, the energy was contagious.
