Yes! When you register, you'll be asked to choose one walk (or the "Fundraise for EFC" option) initially. After you've registered, just go to the "Walks" tab in the top navigation bar, choose the additional event you're interested in, and click "Register".

Yes. Leashed, well-behaved pets are welcome anywhere they'd normally be allowed. Just be aware that crowds and noise are part of the event, so more skittish critters may be happier at home.
Pre-made signs are available (to borrow) at every Rise Together community walk. If you're the crafty type, you can also make your own sign at home and bring it with you. (Remember this is an all-ages event, so try to keep the messages family-friendly, please!)
Once you register, you'll get your own One Cause page where you can display your progress, share your story, and collect donations online. You'll also have options to start a Facebook fundraiser, reach out to family and friends via email or text, and host a fundraising event of your own. Call us at 413-499-2425 if you need help or want us to send you information.
