Our family-friendly, peer-to-peer fundraising event welcomes wish families, volunteers, donors, corporate partners, and many more valued supporters for a spirited walk around Vasona Park in Los Gatos.

While participation is completely free, we hope you will build a team and fundraise for our brave wish families across the greater Bay Area. If you fundraise, you can win prizes, including a commemorative Walk for Wishes t-shirt.

Walk Your Way

New this year! To make Walk for Wishes accessible for our far-reaching network of supporters, we invite you to “Walk Your Way” by hosting or attending a mini-walk in your community on August 23! To participate, simply register for the event as you normally would, select “Walk Your Way” as your registration option, and select your location of choice from the drop-down menu. Walk Your Way will be hosted at three Sports Basement locations throughout our territory, or you can pick your own location for your mini-walk.

Walk Your Way participants who raise at least $100 by July 1, 2025, will receive a Walk in a Bag with your t-shirt and other fun items!
