The Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community is an annual fundraising walk that benefits local health and human service agencies.

The 2026 Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community is scheduled for Saturday, May 30 at Point State Park. Registration opens at 7:45 a.m. to 12 p.m. and the walk begins at 9:00 a.m.

If you’re interested in supporting the work of early childhood, walk with Trying Together! Registered walkers will have the option to sign up as an individual, join a team, or create a new team. Early learning programs have a unique opportunity to fundraise for their programs when they form a team with Trying Together.

Fundraise for Your Early Learning Program

The primary goal of the walk is to help participating organizations raise money for their individual missions. One hundred percent of the funds raised through this event go directly back to the participating organizations. This is a great opportunity for nonprofit organizations to raise funds, but not all entities meet the eligibility standards.

If you are the owner or director of an early learning program, Trying Together can work with you to raise funds through the Highmark Walk. When your program creates a walk team on behalf of Trying Together, seventy-five percent of all funds you raise will be donated back to your program! You can use these extra funds to buy supplies, pay bills, take fields trips, and more. 

Interested in teaming up with us to raise funds for your program? Create your team now! Visit the Trying Together Fundraising Page, select “Sign Up > Create a Team” and complete the registration form. Use your program name as your team name. For assistance, watch the video below.
