San Luis Obispo Great Strides

Great Strides walks provide a fantastic opportunity for family, friends, students, and colleagues to come together and make a difference.

Year after year, volunteers make every Great Strides walk site both fun and successful. Their dedication has helped Great Strides become one of the country's most effective and efficient fundraising efforts. Since the first Great Strides walk in 1989, more than $214 million has been raised to support the vital research and care programs of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
