At our fifth annual ALX Dog Walk and Sustainability Festival on April 18, 2026, we host a Spring2ACTion Nonprofit Village, where numerous impactful local organizations host tables to connect with the community and share valuable resources about philanthropy in and around Alexandria.
Even more impressive, these nonprofits make an effort to learn about hosting plastic-free event tables – the billion dollar events industry produces billions of plastic items that cannot be recycled.
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!
