Event T-Shirt

T-Shirt Pickup
All registered walkers will receive their event t-shirts at the time of registration.

Feel free to put it on and wear it proudly during the walk — this year’s color is gold: bright, bold, and chosen by our team to represent strength, visibility, and unity.

While green is traditionally associated with mental health awareness, we’re walking in gold to shine a light on hope, healing, and the courage to speak up.

Feel free to wear your pops of green to show your support — together, we’ll stand out in color and in purpose. 

Thank you to our Event Sponsors!
