OUR MISSION
The ALX Dog Walk, a 501(c)(3) voluntary nonprofit, organizes an annual dog walk to build community, have a barking good time, and raise funds that help to spread the word about plastic-free and sustainable living throughout the District, Maryland, and Virginia region.
100% net funds go towards the launch of education and awareness initiatives and programs year-round. We also sponsor other nonprofit programs that directly help us to extend our outreach.
Every year, we also sponsor a special project in the City of Alexandria, home of the annual dog walk – it’s our way of showing appreciation.
Bark on!
OUR ANNUAL DOG WALK EVENT
The ALX Dog Walk annual event has witnessed remarkable growth in just three years. Recognizing the deep bond between dogs and their owners, as well as their shared love for the great outdoors and the environment, in 2022 a dedicated group of volunteers came together to organize the first-ever ALX Dog Walk in the historic Old Town Alexandria, VA.
The growth of the ALX Dog Walk is a testament to the power of a shared passion and a collective drive to make a difference. Through its educational initiatives and fundraising effort, the ALX Dog Walk strives to create a brighter future for a plastic-free environment, one step at a time.
