Walk for Children participants have already pledged to walk 2,900 miles for children at Next Door!

On May 20, Next Door will launch our Walk for Children, challenging our participants to walk, run, or ride a mile for a child.

This year we’re excited to offer three ways to participate:

Sponsors at the $2,500 Silver level and above will receive a Pop-up Walk for Children kit containing all of the materials needed to host a Walk for Children event at a time and location that works best for your team. See sponsorship page for more information.

Donors, community supporters, and Next Door staff are invited to join us virtually the week of May 20-27. Set your own distance goal and invite friends to join you for this week long challenge. We’ll give you tips on how to complete your pledged miles and cheer you on every step, stride, or pedal of the way!

Next Door Families are invited to an in-person event on May 26^th at our 29^th Street and Capitol Drive campuses. No pre-registration is necessary to enjoy this family event. Watch your newsletters for more information.

Our goal is to raise $75,000 in support of high quality, early childhood programs.

Last year, over 430 Next Door Virtual Walk for Children participants walked, ran, and rode 8,463 miles to help build brighter futures for our children and their families. This year, as our Walk continues to grow, we hope that you'll join us for the 2022 Walk for Children.

Our work has never been more important! As we work to address the significant impact the pandemic has had on student learning and development we need your support to make sure our children and families have the tools they need to succeed.

Your support of the Virtual Walk for Children helps us continue to provide critical programming and educational materials for children ages birth to 5K in our community.
