The 5K walk is followed by a family-friendly festival featuring delicious food, live music from Band of Oz, a petting zoo, games, and more. The goal for this year's Walk for Hope is to raise $1M to fund breakthrough research and end the stigma of mental illness, critically important in a year marked by uncertainty and growing needs. 100% of the money raised by participants directly funds research in mental illness at the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of Psychiatry.
Since 1984, the Walk for Hope has grown from 200 participants to a lively festival that now attracts more than 4,000 attendees. Walk for Hope has raised more than $10.7 million, allowing the Foundation of Hope to grant 210 scientific research awards, which have attracted an additional $272 million from the National Institute of Health and other federal agencies.
