There are several ways to get involved with Walk for Recovery:

  • Register as a walker: Sign up to walk, raise funds, and join us on event day. Click the Register button in the navigation menu to get started.
  • Join a Team: Walk alongside friends, coworkers, or family by joining an existing team from the register link on the team page.
  • Create a Team: Start your own team and invite others to join your cause.
  • Donate: Can't participate in person? Support a walker by donating to their fundraising page.
  • Spread the word: Share the event on social media and encourage your network to participate or donate.

Supporting a walker is easy! There are two ways to find someone to donate to:

  • Search on the homepage: Visit our home page and use the participant search to find the person you'd like to support. Click their name to visit their fundraising page and make a donation.
  • Use a personal link: If someone shared their fundraising link with you directly (via email, text, or social media), simply follow that link to reach their page and donate.

All donations are processed securely and you will receive an email receipt. Teen Challenge of Southern California is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit — your donation is tax-deductible as allowed by law.

Donations cannot be made directly to a team. All donations go to individual walkers. However, when you donate to a walker who belongs to a team, the team automatically receives credit toward their team fundraising total.

To support a team, simply find any member of that team and donate to their personal fundraising page. Every donation to a team member counts toward the team goal!

You can find team members by visiting the team's page and clicking on any walker's name, or by searching on the home page.
