Virtual Walk-N-Roll for Spina Bifida

The 2021 Walk-N-Roll presented by The Daily Gazette is not taking place in-person, but remains a celebration of the Spina Bifida community! The Walk-N-Roll for Spina Bifida® is a family-friendly one mile walk event that raises critical funds, increases awareness of Spina Bifida and celebrates the accomplishments of the near 200,000 Americans living with Spina Bifida. All proceeds remain local and are used for programs and services for people with Spina Bifida and their families.

On May 15, 2021 we will be holding our 11th Walk-N-Roll for Spina Bifida® VIRTUALLY! Individuals living with Spina Bifida, families and friends of the Spina Bifida community can walk or roll in their home or neighborhood to raise awareness for Spina Bifida. Similar to the in-person Walk-N-Roll, the event is free and will include contests, prizes and fundraising incentives. However this year - location is not a barrier! Have relatives or friends who have not been able to join you in the past? This is the event for them! 

Registration: Questions can be sent to admin@sbaneny.org.
