OCD Walk Series
Throughout 2026 and across the country!
Show your commitment to raising awareness for what it really means to have OCD by sponsoring the national One Million Steps for OCD Walk program! Your support will help fund marketing efforts that showcase this community-building program to all those impacted by OCD. Your brand will be associated with the hope and support the OCD Walk brings to families across the country.
Sponsor a Local Walk
The new Community Champion Sponsorship is an opportunity for clinics and programs to sponsor a specific OCD Walk in their local community if the national sponsorship levels are out of budget. By becoming a Community Champion Sponsor, you’ll connect directly with attendees in your local area, show your commitment to increasing access to care, and be recognized as a valued supporter within your community.
More OCD Walks offering local sponsorships are being added on a rolling basis — see if there is one in your area today! Join us on the ground and make a tangible impact close to home!
