39th UNCF Walk for Education – New Orleans
Get ready to walk, run, ride, and make a difference!
Join us for the 39th UNCF New Orleans Walk for Education—a fun-filled community 5K where every step supports students and historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Together, we’ll celebrate community, inspire hope, and create brighter futures through education.
Whether you’re walking, running, or riding, you’ll enjoy a morning of live entertainment, delicious food, kids’ activities, health and wellness vendors, sponsor giveaways, and plenty of community spirit. Gather your family, friends, coworkers, sororities, fraternities, or community groups, show your team pride, and be part of a New Orleans tradition that’s changing lives.
There are many ways to get involved! Register as an individual or team, become an event sponsor, showcase your organization as a vendor, volunteer your time, or make a donation. However you choose to participate, you’ll help create life-changing opportunities for students.
Every step. Every dollar. Every volunteer. Every sponsor. Together, we can help students get to and through college. Join us and make an impact!
