Walk for Hope Chaves County

Walk for Hope Chaves County Annual fundraiser for Chaves County Cancer Fund. All members of the committee and board of Chaves County Cancer Fund are non-paid volunteers.

Walk for Hope began in Roswell, New Mexico in 2010 as a way of raising funds for the Chaves County Cancer Fund, a local 501c3 organization that offers financial assistance to residents of Chaves County going through cancer treatment. Over the last several years Walk for Hope has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and every penny stays right here in Chaves County. Together with the help of the

community, several local businesses, and people just like you we are able to raise money for cancer patients and their families to help during difficult times. The Walk is also a time to honor survivors and remember those we have lost. The event takes place in May every year at Cielo Grande Recreation Area. We have several local sponsors and teams that conduct fundraisers throughout the year as well as that evening. It is a time to come together as a community, enjoy good food, friends, family, music, and most importantly help those around us battling this terrible disease. If you are interested in being a sponsor, putting together a team for the event, or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the phone number listed on this page, e-mail, or send us a message on Facebook.

🤔⁉️What even is Walk for Hope?⁉️🤨

It all started in 2010 when a determined and committed group of people decided that the best way to support cancer survivors was to help them with living expenses as they concentrated on fighting for their lives through therapy.

Waging war is not cheap. They knew they couldn't do everything, but they could do SOMETHING.

So "WALK FOR HOPE" in Chaves County was born. ✏️

The initial leadership was composed of either cancer survivors or had family members and loved ones who were survivors. Deciding that it was not good enough to simply focus on grief and loss. ALL of us can chose to do something positive for our community. A simple way to start was to find a way to support the financial strains and lift emotional stress associated with their diagnosis. We also decided that all of the funds that were raised would remain local.📍

🎗️Since then, “Walk for Hope” has grown to become one of the biggest charity fundraising events in our community. In 2010, Walk for Hope had about 850 people in attendance and in 2022 there were approximately 7,000 people in attendance.

WHY DO WE DO THIS? Because every person and their family who receives the diagnosis needs to be reminded: ❗️you will not fight this alone❗️ - your neighbors are standing with you! Because cancer doesn't care where you work, who you love, or what you do, we are all affected.

No. We refuse to be quiet. 📣

Whether it's a work-place challenge, a church craft or bake sale, a giving-back by local businesses, or a well-coordinated corporate investment, we are a community that cares for our own. That's why a corp of volunteers will work throughout the year so that every penny goes towards helping people fight. Walk for Hope owes its success to the many volunteers, sponsors and participants who support it each year.

Without all of you, there would not be “Walk for Hope”! ❤️

We can’t wait to see you all THIS SATURDAY, October 18 ,2025 from 5-9 at Gateway Christian School. 🎗️
