After meeting in the designated meeting spots, walkers and sponsors will rally together at the "Start" line and will be continuously greeted by volunteers cheering them along the designated route. After finishing, walkers will enjoy lunch and explore sponsor booths and family activities.
As the organization’s largest fundraiser, this year’s WalkAmerica will once again focus on the fight against premature births. Premature birth is a silent crisis with 1 in 8 babies born too soon every day in the state of Georgia. The country’s oldest walking event, WalkAmerica supports research and programs that help fight threats to the health of the 470,000 babies in the U.S. who are born too soon every year. Since its beginning 35 years ago, WalkAmerica has raised more than $1 billion to help give babies a fighting chance and takes place on the last weekend in April in nearly 1,500 locations across the nation.
