Walk, Run or Hike for our Cause

Brave Step Virtual Walk/Run

April 1-30, 2025

Walk anywhere at any time

This April, step into action with Brave Step during our annual Brave Step Virtual Walk/Run, a powerful part of our Color It Blue “Move”ment. Let’s come together to show courage, solidarity and unwavering support for survivors and loved ones during Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Whether you prefer walking, running or hiking, every step you make adds to the collective momentum of hope and well-being. This year, we’re adding some exciting twists to amplify the energy:

  • Team Up in Blue: Gather your crew, form a team and create coordinated blue outfits to stand out while standing together for survivors.
  • Blue-Themed Accessories: Rock your blue accessories such as blue face paint, ribbons or socks and help color your movement with purpose.
  • Speak Up.
    • Post your Color It Blue “move”ment on social media with #ColorItBlue, #SAAM and #BraveStep.
    • Start powerful conversations.
    • Challenge 3 friends to Color It Blue and join the cause.
    • Rally your community to be educated, empowered and ready to act.

Your participation goes beyond the steps you take—it’s a bold statement of advocacy, a commitment to raising awareness and a promise to empower communities to take action. Together, we’ll create a sea of blue that speaks louder than words.

Lace up. Gear up. Move for a cause that matters.

Let’s make every step count. Sign up now to be part of this inspiring movement for change.
