👟STELLAR STEPPERS' 2nd ANNUAL
SUNRISE TO SUNSET WALK
FOR BRONSON'S NICU! 🌞
👇 We’ve had a lot of great questions, so here’s your cheat sheet! 👇
❓ Do I have to walk 35 miles?
🙅🏾♀️ Nope! Walk any distance you want — 1 mile or all 35. Every step supports Bronson’s NICU babies! 💚👶🏾
❓ Can I start anytime?
✅ Yes! Come when you can. Stay as long (or short) as you want. 👟
❓ Do I need to register ahead of time?
📝 Nope — there’s no registration required! Just show up on walk day, sign in, and fill out a quick liability waiver. That’s it!
❓ Do I have to donate to participate?
💲 Absolutely not! There’s no cost and no obligation to donate. Just come walk and be part of it! 💚
❓ Is this a race?
🚫 Nope — just walking together for a great cause and lots of fun! 🎉
❓ Where can I join in?
📍 We’ll have a map available showing different spots along the trail where you can easily hop in and join the walk at any time.
❓ What about transportation during the walk?
🚗 This is an out-and-back style walk. You can park at the start, walk any distance, and head back when you're ready.
🚙 If you join in at one of the map locations along the trail, you’ll need to plan your own ride or arrange for drop-off and pick-up at those points.
🏁 If you plan to walk the full distance or most of it, you’re welcome to arrange your own pickup at North Beach at the finish point.
🙌 If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out ahead of time — we’ll help you figure out what works best for you!
❓ What if I can't attend but still want to help?
💻 You can still make a donation online anytime 👉 https://secure.qgiv.com/event/2bhftpe/account/2025248-stellar 💚
📝 WHAT TO BRING & HOW THE DAY WILL FLOW:
🎒 We’ll share a full list of suggested items to bring closer to walk day — but don’t stress!
🙌 Volunteers will be available to hold small items you don’t want to carry while you’re walking.
💧 Bring anything that keeps you comfortable — water bottles, snacks, sunscreen, extra socks, etc.
🥪 Lunch Stop: We’ll take a break for lunch (bring your own) at the halfway point from ~1:00 PM to 1:30 PM.
⏰ If you arrive at the halfway point early, feel free to relax and rest — we will restart walking together at 1:30 PM.
🗓 Walk Day: September 8, 2025 6:45am (Arrive by 6:30am)
