Walk. All Day.

You know the feeling of a really good walk: good conversation, good snacks, somewhere worth going. This is that, for 12 hours straight, through 26.2 miles of San Francisco.

Just a group of people who like this sort of thing, taking something they already love to an extreme.

Why UpTogether

Too many families are working hard to build a better future, yet economic security remains out of reach. While many systems place restrictions on how support can be accessed or used, UpTogether starts from a different belief: people know what they need to thrive.

Through direct, unrestricted cash investments, UpTogether trusts families to make the decisions that are right for them. When people have both resources and choice, they can meet immediate needs, invest in new opportunities, and build lasting financial stability.
