Walk-A-Thon for Pete’s Sake
Event Overview
In support of September being Suicide Prevention Month, we’re teaming up for Pete’s sake to support mental health awareness and education.
From September 10–19, participants will raise funds for The Pete Foundation, a Louisville-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides free QPR suicide prevention training, expands mental health education, and connects more people with the tools and resources they need before a crisis occurs.
Your Team can organize their own walk on September 19—or anytime during the campaign. Walk wherever it works best for you: in your neighborhood, at a local park, on a favorite trail, or even on a treadmill. Invite friends, family, coworkers, or your community to join you, and help make mental health a conversation worth walking for.
How to participate
- Register for the Walk-A-Thon for Pete’s Sake.
- Complete your fundraising profile with a photo, personal message, and fundraising goal.
- Start sharing your fundraising page with friends, family, and followers to raise funds for The Pete Foundation.
- Organize and complete your own walk on September 19, at your own pace and in a place that works for you.
- Share updates from your walk—the more sweaty photos and videos, the better—and tag The Pete Foundation so we can celebrate with you.
You can walk any distance, wherever you are, and still be part of the movement. By sharing your fundraiser and tagging The Pete Foundation, we can connect individual walks into one collective Teaming Up event.
Whether you walk one mile, a 5K, a half marathon, or simply take a few steps for mental health, every dollar and every step matters.
Join the team to raise awareness, raise funds, and move together for mental health!
