7th Annual Walk for Hope

The Waupaca County Suicide Prevention Coalition invites you to our 7th Annual Walk for Hope, Walk in Memory! This walk/run will be a 5k, and will also have the option to walk a mile if you so choose. This walk is to honor those lost to suicide and will help us to provide hope towards preventing suicide, reducing the stigma, and creating awareness for mental health.

The walk/run will be held on Saturday, May 20th, and will start and finish at Swan Park in Waupaca. Preregistration/Check-In will begin at 9 am. We will set up a few tables for our resource fair, and a speaker will present at 10:00 am before the walk starts. Each ticket will cost $20 for 14 and older, and each ticket with include a t-shirt!
