Our virtual Hope Walks the past 3 years were a great success with people participating from across the globe! We encourage you to spread the word to family and friends who live outside of the area so we can celebrate the Hope Walk near and far. Virtual participants can safely walk, run, or even bike and swim in their own neighborhood or park, at their own pace, for as long as, or as many times as they like!

The title of Grand Pet Marshall of the Hope Walk is awarded to the individual pet or pet whose team raises the most funds for CSC as part of the Hope Walk. Leverage your adorable dog, cat, or other furry friend to represent your team and get the word out about the Hope Walk. You can officially sign them up and get a Hope Walk pet bandana (must opt-in on the registration page to qualify). The winner will be announced at the Hope Walk on Saturday, May 20 and help lead the start of the walk!

Are you a member or employee of a local gym or exercise studio? We have a special opportunity to become a Hope Walk Community Partner at a discounted rate. For more details and to set up your team, contact Carol Louisell at clouisell@cancersupport.net

Free parking is available within Heather Farm Park.

• We would like our able-bodied walkers, vendors, volunteers, and staff to park at “General Parking” at the Community Center parking lot. It is located on the left-hand side of N. San Carlos just past the Start/ Finish staging area.
• We would like to keep the parking lot closest to the Start/ Finish staging area reserved for our medically fragile and disabled guests.
• Additional parking is available along Marchbanks Drive.

*We are expecting one thousand walkers and there may be other events occurring at the park at the same time, therefore we recommend giving ample time to find parking and strongly encourage carpooling.

The Hope Walk will take place rain or shine. This year looks to be a warm one so bring your sunscreen and water. Registration fees and donations are non-refundable.

Wheelchairs, strollers, and friendly dogs on leashes are welcome. We recommend that you dress for all weather (layers) - in years past we have had chilly mornings and clear/sunny afternoons. Please bring your own water bottle to accompany you on the walk.

Be sure to share your Hope Walk participation with your friends online. Use the hashtag #WhyIHopeWalk to share your story and inspire others to participate. Your posts may even be shared on the CSC channels! Find us: Facebook: @CSCBayArea Instagram: @CancerSupportSF Twitter: @CancerSupportSF

For any check donations you may have collected, you can bring them to the check-in tent on Saturday or mail them to our center in Walnut Creek: Cancer Support Community, 3276 McNutt Avenue, Walnut Creek, CA 94597
