Circle of Friends
Fuel Your Passion for Good
Come Together to Make a Difference
Circle of Friends raises funds for local non-profits through regular walkathons at the Gordon River Greenway in Naples.
Our events are open to everyone and you are welcome to join us for a fun, healthy activity to support our amazing non-profits! Bring a friend, make some new friends, and help strengthen our community with every step.
Connecting for Community
Circle of Friends supports organizations that address critical needs in our community, including food and affordable housing, health care, education, public safety and the environment. In addition, we hope to build community among people who may otherwise feel alone, marginalized or at risk in Naples.
Expand the Circle
Our season runs from October to April, with a walkathon each month to support a different local non-profit. Our events are intended as an alternative to high dollar fundraisers, and we are happier in running shoes than suits or ball gowns. Please join us for any or all of our events, with a fun, informal gathering of friends to support each other and build a stronger community.
Our walkathons are open to all ages and fitness levels, walk or run as much or as little as you choose, and dogs are welcome too! Donations are optional, come to learn more about the great work that is happening in our community and get inspired to volunteer or make a contribution.
Circle of Friends is an all-volunteer organization and 100% of proceeds will be distributed to our designated non-profits. Help us expand the circle by sharing our event calendar or inviting friends and family to join us!
