The SBANYS Walk-N-Roll for Spina Bifida presented by Byram Healthcare is back for 2023, this time with two locations and dates to choose from! The Walk-N-Roll for Spina Bifida® is a family-friendly one-mile walk event that raises critical funds, increases awareness of Spina Bifida, and celebrates the accomplishments of the near 200,000 Americans living with Spina Bifida. All proceeds are used for programs and services for people with Spina Bifida and their families.

WALK YOUR WAY & HOT SPOTS!
We understand traveling to Schenectady or East Meadow, NY is not feasible for all interested Walk-N-Roll participants. Therefore, we have implemented the "Walk Your Way" ticket and "Hot Spots" or locations for virtual participants to visit and connect with other local families participating.
Walk Your Way: You can participate virtually by walking or rolling in your neighborhood to raise awareness for Spina Bifida. Virtual participants are still eligible for our fundraising contests, and prizes and to receive our Walk-N-Roll T-Shirt.
Hot Spots:
- Participants can request to be an ambassador for a hot spot location by emailing admin@sbanys.org
- A mutually agreed upon location will be added to the "hot spot" list and shared with our virtual attendees
- On a selected day between 5/13/23-5/21/23, attendees can visit their "hot spot" location and complete their own Walk-N-Roll
To learn more, email admin@sbanys.org or call 518-399-9151
Sign up to be a not-for-profit vendor!
Nonprofit vendors are invited to join us for free at either or both of these events. If you are interested in joining us, you can attend with information about your programs and services and we will provide a table, two chairs, and the opportunity to connect with over 150 guests!
Thank you to our event sponsors!
