Have a question? We have answers!
What day and time is there an event?
Events are held on Saturday mornings every few weeks during “season”
Starting at 8:30am, a representative from the non-profit (or a member of Circle of Friends) will share information about the organization.
Starting at 8:45am, the walk will start. Walkers and runners of all speeds are always welcome!
Where are the events held?
Gordon River Greenway
1590 Goodlette Frank Rd, Naples, FL 34102
Enter at the Naples Zoo parking lot. The Greenway path starts from the East side of the parking lot — all the way in the back of the zoo parking lot.
Do you accept donations?
Yes, we hope that participants will make a minimum donation of $5 to the event’s designated non-profit, and we have a button on this website to let you do that! (See below)
How do I donate, and where does the money go?
Pressing the Donate Button anywhere on this site within 10 days before and 1 day after the Event will take you to Circle of Friends foundation link and all donations within that time frame will automatically be donated to that Event’s non-profit.
Donating outside of that time frame would be a donation directly to Circle of Friends, and the Circle of Friends Advisory Board will distribute to local non-profits.
For example, our kick-off Event is on January 18, 2025 to benefit Collier Resource Center. Clicking any of our Donate buttons beginning January 8th (10 days before the 18th) and January 19th (1 day after), will automatically designate your donation for Collier Resource Center. Donating outside of that time frame, for example on January 7th or the 20th, would not be designated for the benefit of CRC, but would be distributed during the year by the Advisory Board to a local non-profit, which might or might not be CRC.
