Walk2gether Michigan is the Michigan Roundtable’s fastest growing fundraiser and brings participants together to demonstrate their support for diversity and inclusion. This year, several thousand walkers will raise money for initiatives to create inclusive, sustainable communities across the region and state by asking their friends, family members, co-workers, and neighbors to sponsor them as they walk. Through walker pledges, corporate sponsorships and matching gifts, the Walk raises essential funds to ensure Michigan Roundtable’s important programming will continue to be available in the community. The Walk will take place rain or shine and the first 1,000 individual walkers who raise $25 or more will be eligible for a Michigan Roundtable Walk2gether T-shirt. Food will be provided by MGM Grand Casino and activities will be planned for participants who are not walking with entertainment for all ages. Participants of all ages are welcome and sponsorships are available.
