What is the Walk for Life?

Join other pro-life people in your community at 10 AM on Saturday, October 10th as we Walk for Life and raise funds for the ministry of Hope Life Center!

This year our goal is to raise enough funds to save 25 lives. That means we need to raise $30,000! The walk is a family-friendly event for people of all ages and is a great way to get your kids involved with supporting and protecting the sanctity of life!

The Walk for Life is an event that benefits our entire community. 100% of the funds you raise will be used to rescue women and children from abortion. We’re excited to see the local body of Christ gather together in unity to pray for abortion to end in our community and to gather resources to rescue women and children from abortion.

Put feet to your passion and participate in this year’s Walk for Life!

Bring your family & friends and join us as we celebrate life at 10 AM in the Sigel Shelter at Centennial Park, on Saturday, October 10th!

Join this community event and raise funds to save the lives of the pre-born!

How will my sponsor donations be used?

All funds raised at the Walk for Life will impact the patients who walk through our doors, going directly toward our mission to help every pregnant mother in Illinois find the freedom to choose life!

Be sure to let your sponsors know that their donation is tax-deductible.

Will my sponsors get a receipt?

Everyone who makes a donation to Hope Life Center AND provides complete, accurate mailing information, will receive a receipt mailed to them after the Walk for Life. Please DO NOT enter your email address or your mailing address for the donor’s information.

Can I buy a prize?

Our prizes are offered as an incentive to raise pledges and they can not be bought (T-shirts included). Anyone who is interested in a prize can “self-sponsor” themselves to earn the prize. Example: The Walk for Life t-shirt is a $200 prize level so sponsoring yourself for $200 would earn you a stylish shirt.

Can I bring my dog or stroller to the Walk for Life?

This event is welcome to little ones and dogs alike! However, we do ask that you use your discretion and only bring dogs that will behave well in large crowds/other dogs.

What if it rains the day of the Walk?

Rain or shine we will be at Centennial Park*
