32nd Annual Thad & Alice Eure DRIVE-THRU / VIRTUAL Walk for Hope

From Walk for Hope:

This year, we are thrilled to capture a little piece of our traditional Walk for Hope event by pivoting to a DRIVE-THRU Walk for Hope! Although COVID-19 has changed all of our plans, we are excited to still have a way to honor our flagship charity event that has helped raise millions of dollars towards better understanding and treatments of illnesses like depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, postpartum depression, schizophrenia, and anorexia.

So while we can’t walk together in person, you can still make an impact by participating in the DRIVE-THRU Walk for Hope at the Angus Barn.

Held on the same day – Sunday, October 11 – this fun, family-friendly drive-thru offers participants the opportunity to get their t-shirt, armband, delicious Angus Barn lunch, win prizes, listen to music, and more, all while staying safely in your car! Can’t make it for the DRIVE-THRU this year? Join us VIRTUALLY instead! It’s more important than ever to support mental illness research right here in our own community.

100% of the money raised by participants directly funds local mental health research at the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of Psychiatry. And, as critically, it helps call attention to the stigma and significance of these often invisible illnesses, which now due to the pandemic affect as many as 1 in 3 American adults.

Your passion helps us touch more and more lives in our community, across our nation, and around the world. Your dedication leads us to record-breaking goals in numbers and funds raised. We believe research is hope, and hope keeps us moving forward, whether on our feet or in our cars.

Thank you for pivoting with us. Despite COVID-19, let’s strive to go further and do more than ever before. Register today and join us for the 2020 DRIVE-THRU Walk for Hope or the VIRTUAL Walk/Run.
