Thank You, Pittsburgh!
To the nearly 1,000 supporters who joined us for the sixth annual Walk4Friendship, the first-ever Friendship 5K and our grand carnival celebration, on Nov. 1st | 2026, the energy you brought was unforgettable! From the start line on Murray Ave. to the finish line at Bartlett Playground, you showed up, cheered each other on and proved just how strong our circle is.
We are so grateful to every walker, runner, roller, team, donor, member, family, volunteer, sponsor and FC staff member who made this year's event possible. Thanks to you, we reached our ambitious fundraising goal, raising $275,800 from 854 donors!
The funds you helped raise will power another year of free and accessible programs, from Sunday Circle and FCTalks to teen wellness supports at The Beacon and workforce training at Bunny Bakes. That means more young people with and without disabilities making real friends, building skills that open doors and finding their place in our community, and more families who know they belong.
Thank you for 20 incredible years of friendship, and for kicking off the next 20 with us!
