Frequently Asked Questions

Do I receive an event t-shirt when I register?

All walkers who register and self-donate $20 at the time of registration will receive a Hope Walks Long Sleeve T-Shirt. Sizes are unisex and first come, first serve. 

Where there be a t-shirt pickup?

There will be no curbside t-shirt pick up, all shirts will be mailed to you closer to the event date.

Do you need volunteers to help with the Virtual Hope Walks?

Since the 2021 Hope Walks has gone completely virtual, we will not be needing any volunteers at the virtual event. The only way to participate is to register to walk.
