Have a question? We have answers!
What day and time is there an event?
Events are held on Saturday mornings every few weeks during “season.”
Starting at 8:30am, a representative from the non-profit (or a member of Circle of Friends) will share information about the organization.
Starting at 8:45am, the walk will start. Walkers and runners of all speeds are always welcome!
Where are the events held?
Gordon River Greenway
Naples Zoo Parking Lot
1590 Goodlette Frank Rd, Naples, FL 34102
- Meet at Pavilion #1580A at the far East side of the parking lot.
Do you accept donations?
Yes, we hope that participants will make a minimum donation of $10 to the event’s designated non-profit, and we have a button on this website to let you do that! (See below)
How do I donate, and where does the money go?
Pressing the Donate Button anywhere on this site within 1 month before and 1 day after the Event will take you to Circle of Friends foundation link and all donations within that time frame will automatically be donated to that Event’s non-profit.
Donating outside of that time frame would be a donation directly to Circle of Friends, and the Circle of Friends Advisory Board will distribute to local non-profits selected for this season.
For example, our kick-off Event is on October 11, 2025 to benefit Weekend Meals by UUCGN. Clicking any of our Donate buttons beginning September 11, 2025 (1 month before the Weekend Meals Event) and October 12th (1 day after), will automatically designate your donation for Weekend Meals. Donating outside of that time frame, for example on October 13th, would not be designated for the benefit of Weekend Meals, but would be distributed to the next non-profit scheduled in November.
