August 2nd
Walk for Hope 2026 - Depression & Suicide Awareness 5K Walk/Run Event

Details

The 24th Annual Walk for Hope on Sunday, August 2, at Saginaw Valley State University brings people together to honor loved ones, raise awareness, and support mental health and suicide prevention.

Our theme this year is Superheros! We celebrate everyday heroes—those who support others, speak openly about mental health, and take steps toward care and connection. Walk in honor, in memory, or in support—your presence matters.

Event Includes:

Untimed 5K Walk/Run or 1‑Mile Walk on paved SVSU paths

50+ resource and activity booths

Music, raffles, and guest speakers

Family‑friendly atmosphere

You can start or join a team, share your story and photos on social media, & walk with others who believe no one should feel alone.

Together, we walk for hope—one step, one connection at a time.
