WHAT IS THE FRIENDSHIP WALK?

Shine

The Friendship Walk NYC is a beloved annual event. Thousands from the community show up in a tremendous display of pride and unity as we walk the streets of the Upper East Side raising awareness and funds for children, teens and young adults with special needs! A 1 mile walk or 5k run is followed by an all day street carnival. All funds raised benefit Friendship Circle of the Upper East Side.

Now celebrating its 11th year, the FriendshipWalkNYC has the power to raise a considerable portion of Friendship Circle’s overall operating budget. Held on Sunday, May 21st on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, over 3,000 supporters from varying backgrounds will come together and go the distance as one. This year, our goal is to raise $500,000 for our incredible community.
