Walk for Survivors: Scenic 5K walk,

About the event

On Saturday, October 18th, Sidewalk Soldiers will host a scenic 5K
Walk for Survivors to raise awareness and funds to expand our services in the Miami Valley. In 2024, we supported over 700 at-risk individuals at Jen’s Haven Drop-in Center and helped 68 exit exploitation to start new, victorious lives.

We invite you to partner with us as a sponsor for our 5K Walk For
Survivors on October 18, 2025, at Eastwood Metro Park. Your
support will help cover event costs and support Sidewalk Soldiers
operations and service expansion.

Sidewalk Soldiers is dedicated to assisting those affected by human
trafficking through resources, advocacy, peer support, mentorship,
and community outreach. Our fall fundraiser is vital in funding
and growing these services.

Why should you sponsor?

Supporting the Sidewalk Soldiers 5K Walk for Survivors is more than just sponsoring an event — it's an investment in hope, resilience, and real change. By partnering with us, your organization helps raise awareness about human trafficking and directly funds vital services that empower survivors to rebuild their lives. Over the past year, we've supported over 700 at-risk individuals and helped 68 survivors begin anew, thanks in part to the generosity of sponsors like you. 

Your support enables us to expand our programs, reach more people in need, and create a safer, more compassionate community. Together, we can walk toward a future where every survivor finds hope and healing.
