With many individuals setting resolutions to begin their weight loss journey at the start of the New Year, hosting a Spring Walk from Obesity is a great way to encourage those individuals and promote the different weight loss options that are available in your community.

Bringing the Walk from Obesity to your community is a tremendous experience and a great way to bring those affected by obesity together. The Walk not only raises awareness about obesity but also raises funds for research, advocacy efforts, and educational purposes.

View the Hosting a Walk from Obesity FAQ and/or submit your application.

If you would like to speak to someone in our office about hosting an event, please call toll free, 866-471-2727. We would be happy to answer any questions you may have and discuss the planning of your event with you. The deadline to submit a 2015 Spring application is December 31, 2014!
