Walk For Life Detroit is a family friendly event that raises funding for the life-affirming work of three Metro Detroit pregnancy centers, serving Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties and beyond.
The day will start by checking in at the front near the zoo entrance at the pregnancy center table you have chosen to raise funding for. There you will pick up your T-shirt and receive your admission ticket. You will then head to the Pavillion (see map) for light breakfast treats, coffee and juice. You will have the opportunity to meet other walkers, learn more about the work of the pregnancy centers supported by the Walk For Life Detroit and also engage with Event Sponsors.
The Walk For Life will officially kick-off from the Pavillion. Walkers will follow the 1.9 mile path while taking in the different zoo animal exhibits and the beauty of the Detroit Zoo! Once you’ve completed the walk, you may join us back at the pavilion for additional snacks and drinks up until noon or you may simply enjoy the rest of your day at the zoo at your leisure until closing time.
Care Net Berkley | Detroit, Another Way Pregnancy Center and Compassion Pregnancy Center are privately funded and rely heavily on the donations of individuals and small businesses to fulfill their commitment to offer life-affirming medical, educational, and material support and HOPE for women & men facing unplanned pregnancy. Collectively, they serve thousands of women, babies & families in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties who often feel alone and uncertain about the future. By participating in the Walk For Life Detroit, you are part of a united community affirming the sanctity of human life and helping us raise critical funding in a fun & easy way.
In 2017, Care Net Berkley | Detroit set out to establish a Walk For Life that went beyond raising funding for their two centers in Berkley and Detroit. They had a vision to establish the largest Walk For Life in Detroit that would create awareness of the valuable work of several pregnancy centers located in Metro Detroit; serving Wayne, Oakland, Macomb counties and beyond and unite our efforts to raise funding to support their life-affirming work. Since 2019, the Walk For Life Detroit has been held uniting the work of multiple pregnancy centers in Southeast Michigan. Specifically, since 2021 Walk For Life Detroit has joined Care Net Berkley | Detroit, Another Way Pregnancy Center and Compassion Pregnancy Center to create the largest Walk For Life in Metro Detroit supporting three pregnancy centers. Since that time, the number of walkers participating in the Walk For Life Detroit has increased each year with over 500 walkers in attendance last year.
Lives lost to abortion continue to increase in our state and use of the abortion pill continues to rise. Oakland, Wayne and Macomb counties make up for nearly ¾ of all abortion activity within our state. The need is still great for women facing unplanned pregnancy to know that the life of her baby has value because he or she is created in the image of God, and also that there is hope...and help.
We are thankful for your participation in the Walk For Life Detroit and for your support of Care Net Berkley | Detroit, Another Way Pregnancy Center and Compassion Pregnancy Center.
