25th Annual Sierra Walk for Hope

This is our 25th annual Walk for Hope and it is happening on the 25th of September, 2021.

Originally billed as the Sierra AIDS Walk, the annual event is now called the Sierra Walk for HOPE in recognition of the many new programs and services that Sierra HOPE now provides. Last year's walk became a "virtual event" because of Park closures due to COVID-19. We are thrilled to be able to return to Calaveras Big Trees in 2021. We realize that some people still have concerns about attending public events so we invite them to also participate "virtually" this year.

This year’s event will take place Saturday, September 25, 2021 at Calaveras Big Trees State Park in Arnold, California. Registration takes place at the Group Picnic Area next to Jack Knight Hall. Walkers can choose from among the many trails in the park. A picnic lunch will be provided to all participants.

“This walk in nature is an opportunity to support those in our community who need assistance, and to raise funds for Sierra HOPE to continue their important work,” said Xan Adams, a long time Sierra HOPE Board member. “I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t benefit from a little mindful forest walking at this particular moment in time; plus you can walk away with an awesome T-Shirt!”
