Best for Women

Feb 2

Step into Empowerment: Join the "Walk for Women" Event Throughout March!

The month of March gives us the chance to celebrate the strength and spirit of women around the world! This year, let's lace up our sneakers and move for a mission with the brand new annual Walk for Women event.

What is the Walk for Women?

Throughout March, and on International Women’s Day, join us in taking steps towards empowerment. This is more than just a stroll; it's a movement to honor the women who have shaped our lives and a chance to build community around our cause.

How Do I Get Involved?

Get moving for women! Then step over to social media and post your “#WhyIWalk”. You might also start a peer-to-peer fundraiser or organize a local group walk and outreach event.

Visit the Walk for Women website to find other ways to get involved, including the chance to purchase a limited-edition event t-shirt.

So, mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, and let's make every step count!
