What is the Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community?
The Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community is an annual fundraising walk that benefits local health and human service agencies. Highmark Inc. coordinates and underwrites the cost of the walk so that 100 percent of the money raised by walkers goes to the participating nonprofits.
The primary goal of the Walk is to help participating organizations raise money for their individual missions. The secondary goal of the Walk is to energize community members to have a greater hand in their health by becoming or staying physically active.
The inaugural Walk for a Healthy Community took place in Pittsburgh in 2003 and raised more than $25,000 for eight nonprofit organizations. Since then, additional walks have been added in Lehigh Valley, Erie, Harrisburg, Laurel Highlands, Northeastern Pennsylvania (Scranton/Wilkes Barre), and Wilmington, Delaware.
In 2019, the Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community raised 1.4 million for the 209 participating organizations. One hundred percent of the funds raised through this event go directly back to the participating organizations.
Please check you email for more information and next steps. Thank you again for supporting Achieva. Because of you, we're able to continue supporting individuals with disabilities and their families.
