The 2026 Friendship Walk takes place on Saturday, April 18 from 8:30am to noon at Golden Gate Park. I would love to have you be involved again to make a meaningful difference at this year's Walk. Your continued involvement would be invaluable in making another successful and impactful Friendship Walk.

Notes:
 

• SignUp does not share your email address—it enables us to send volunteering details and updates directly from SignUp.com. Please Whitelist emails from SignUp.com to ensure you get email updates. We ask for your phone number in case we need to contact you during the event.
   
• Please be sure to let us know if you are part of a group. Each member of your group must sign up for a volunteer spot in their name.

Please sign up by March 27 to ensure we'll have a volunteer T-shirt in your size. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or thoughts to share. I look forward to connecting with you at the Walk!
