You’re invited to return to Rowan University’s Glassboro campus on Saturday, April 18th, 2026 at the Chamberlain Student Center (Expansion) and Back Patio as we walk to support survivors of suicide loss and continue to build a community of care. Proceeds from the event will go to the Center for Well-Being and benefit well-being initiatives at Rowan University to support the mental health and well-being of Rowan students, faculty, and staff such as:
- Suicide Prevention Trainings for faculty, staff, students, parents/caregivers
- Emergency funds (e.g. for individuals with food insecurity or unforeseen circumstances)
- Programs/Organizations that center around mental health and well-being at Rowan
- Student focused programming to support belonging and social connection that is invaluable to student success and well-being while in college
- Profs for a Purpose Mini-Grants
Each year, the TOP FIVE fundraising teams will have the opportunity to have mini grants created in their winning team name. These mini grants will be awarded to Rowan students, faculty, and staff supporting suicide prevention, mental health and well-being initiatives through education, resources and improving sense of belonging.

Congratulations to our winning teams from 2025!

Additional Details about the Walk

Each year, our event highlights a Rowan campus member, organization, or department and their unique expressions of support for suicide loss survivors, individuals with lived experience, and overall mental well-being. Past events have featured interpretive dance by the Rowan Dance Team, creative art experiences from the George Family Center for the Healing Arts, and meaningful contributions from student clubs and organizations across campus.

Participants are invited to enjoy light breakfast items while connecting with members of the community and exploring resource and activity tables. Our Opening Remarks offer words of hope, a moment of remembrance, and recognition of our mini-grant recipients and their impactful work. We also share how funds raised directly support suicide prevention efforts and mental well-being initiatives.

Following the remarks, we come together to Walk for Hope—a collective walk through campus that symbolizes our solidarity, honors those affected by suicide, and helps reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness. Along the route, participants can engage with thoughtfully curated activity stations designed to meet you where you are and allow for personal reflection and connection.

We conclude the morning by gathering for ice cream and continued community connection.

We can’t wait to walk with you this April.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time does the race start?

The first wave of runners begins at 10:00 a.m., followed by the second wave at 10:05 a.m. New this year, all in-person runners must check in between 8:45 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. to receive their assigned start time.

Why are there two waves?

The two-wave system allows us to accommodate more participants on race day. This helps reduce crowding on the course and ensures a smoother race experience for everyone.

How and when will I be assigned my wave?

Wave assignments will be given during check-in at the Welcome Tent between 8:45 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Groups who want to run together are encouraged to check in at the same time to be assigned to the same wave.

Wave assignment details:

• Competitive runners will be assigned to the first wave.

• Walkers and those running with strollers will be placed in the second wave.

• Wave assignments are not based on pace.

• All awards are determined by chip time. Your assigned wave will not affect your eligibility.
