We're a Tail Wagging Fun Way to Promote Plastic-Free & Sustainable Living!

At our fifth annual dog walk event and sustainability festival on April 18, 2026, we will again feature the Spring2ACTion Nonprofit Village, where a collection of impactful local organizations will be on hand to connect with the community and share valuable resources about philanthropy in and around Alexandria.  

Even more impressive, these nonprofits will make an effort to learn about and host plastic-free event tables – the billion dollar events industry produces billions of plastic items that cannot be recycled.

REGISTER A TABLE HERE by 3/27!   From now until Walk Day, we will feature your organization (and link) on this page, and we’ll promote all organizations on our social media.

At the ALX Dog Walk, we believe in the power of community engagement!

Here's What Last Year's Participants Said!

* The Spring2ACTion Nonprofit Village at the Alx Dog Walk was instrumental in increasing our organizations Spring2ACTion campaign. We were able to get the word out about upcoming events to people we may not have connected to prior.

* The ALX Dog Walk was a great opportunity to connect with the community members and local nonprofits.
It was amazing to see how supportive everyone was.

* The ALX Dog Walk provides great visibility for our organization. We don’t have a large marketing budget and it is important for the public to know all the ways nonprofits like ours fill in service gaps in the community!
