EVENT DETAILS
What is the Walk for Life?
This year on Saturday, June 1, Life Network will host the 37th Annual Walk for Life! The Walk for Life is a simple way for people of all ages to get involved by actively demonstrating support for the value of human life – and a desire to make a difference in the lives of women, men, students and babies in our community. By raising funds and walking yourself or sponsoring another walker for the Walk for Life, you are directly helping the ministry of Life Network advance its mission to cultivate a community that values life through the love of Christ.
Participating walkers can choose to join with us at Memorial Park in person or if you prefer, to walk in your own neighborhood. Any questions can be answered by our Events Team, at adwire@elifenetwork.com or 719.355.1183. Our life-affirming ministry is so grateful for your support!

Join us by registering to attend in-person at Memorial Park or walk in your own neighborhood on Saturday, June 1.

When you put your feet to your convictions and Walk for Life you are directly helping the ministry of Life Network advance its mission to cultivate a community that values life through the love of Christ.

Volunteer
Our volunteers make it possible!
Thank you is not enough to express our appreciation and gratitude for your willingness to serve at this year’s Walk for Life! This event would not be possible without the many volunteers who generously donate their time and talent – thank you for being one of them!
TEAMS
Participate as a team!
The Walk for Life is even more exciting when you participate with a group of friends! A team consists of three or more fundraising walkers or runners. Team members could include your family, your friends, your small group – or any combination of three or more fundraisers! Each team member needs to fundraise individually, and have their own pledge form (paper or online) on Walk day. Be sure to designate one person as the Team Captain. If a team raises over $2,000 in pledges, the Team Captain will become a member of the Life Savers Club and be invited to the 2024 Life Savers event in July as a thank you!
As a team captain, just follow the easy steps below to create a team.
- Identify a unique Team Name (see the Top 5 Teams of 2022 below for examples.)
- Register yourself: Be sure to enter your team name, and yourself as the Team Captain when you register!
- Encourage each of your teammates to register online – make sure they enter your team name when they register!
- Visit the FAQs section of the website for helpful fundraising tips to share with your team!
- Set a team goal and encourage your team to meet it! Check in with your team members weekly to see how their fundraising is going.
