Walk & Roll-athons

What is a Walk & Roll-athon?
Walk & Roll-athons are awareness and BIANC fund-raising events held at local parks across North Carolina. They honor survivors, family members, and military personnel who are dealing with the challenges of living with brain injury. The walks are on a short paved or smooth course where everyone can walk or roll together. Each event has music, fun activities for kids and the whole family, and opportunities for exercise and learning more about brain injury. All events include lunch and event t-shirts. Donations are tax deductible and for a worthy cause.

You may register for the Walk & Roll-athons as an individual or as a team. You can also collect pledges to pay for your entry fee or just as additional donations!
