About this race

Event Overview

Last year, we came together to Walk for Change—raising Awareness, strengthening Advocacy, and taking Action for individuals with disabilities and the families who support them. Because of your incredible support, that movement continues.

This year, AdvocaSAY invites you to take the next step with us as we come together for our 2nd Annual 5K Walk/Run: “Moving for Change.”

Purpose of the Event

Moving for Change represents our commitment to turning advocacy into meaningful action. Every step we take symbolizes progress toward a more inclusive community where individuals with disabilities have access to the resources, opportunities, services, and support they need to thrive.

Who We Are Moving For

  • Families: We are moving for the families who are searching for answers.
  • Parents: We are moving for parents who advocate every day for their children.
  • Individuals: We are moving for individuals with disabilities whose voices deserve to be heard.
  • Community: We are moving to create greater awareness, expand opportunities, and break down barriers.

Our Mission

Through AdvocaSAY, our mission goes beyond awareness. We work to help families access critical resources through grants for IEP advocacy and assistance, respite care, adaptive equipment, and other supports that can make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities and their caregivers.

Your Impact

Every registration, every donation, every volunteer, and every step taken during our 5K helps move that mission forward.

Last year, we walked for change.
This year, we are MOVING for change.
