National Volunteer Month
April is National Volunteer Month and we’re pretty excited about it! Not only is this the perfect time for us to recognize and say ‘Thank You’ to our current volunteers (more on that later!), but it is also a time to highlight the benefits of volunteering, and showcase all of the different ways that prospective volunteers […]
Celebrating International Women’s Day with 100 Acts of Love
We decided to celebrate International Women’s Day with a female driven round table discussion, right here in the Walk With Sally office. Our female staffers who make the WWS world go ’round on a daily basis shared stories about the women in their lives who have inspired them, and continue to inspire them. We also […]

Mentor Spotlight: Josh, D-Day + Mac-N-Cheese
It’s no secret we love our Mentors. They’re absolutely incredible. Josh (mentor) was matched with Joey (mentee) 8/27/16. They have done some incredible things together and we love seeing these two at Friendship Activities. Especially when Joey decides to show up in World War II paraphernalia to our Bay Club Day. It was quite the […]

I was in the audience, chatting with different mentors, and listening to the speeches and words of wisdom while trying to stifle some sentimental tears.

The Absolute JOY of giving.
A lot happens when you give a gift. We aren’t just giving a materialistic thing. Many times, we we are giving experiences. Some of these monetary or “materialistic” donations create opportunity, friendship, and the ability to pursue passions. By giving hiking boots, you can give the gift of the outdoors and nature. A […]
Building Friendships + Gingerbread Houses
This last Sunday, we spent the afternoon surrounded by icing, gingerbread, and so many treats it’s hard to keep track (sugar-rushes are okay during the holidays, right?). Santa made a guest appearance, along with mentors, mentees, mentors-in-waiting, and mentees who have yet to meet their match. Constructing a Gingerbread House is similar to constructing […]
