The official tally of Flora’s Walk 2023 was a phenomenal $121,290.89!!! We raised over 37% more funds this year thanks to you and have already started working on creating our promised CPMHC Chapters across Canada.
25% of the money raised from Flora’s Walk was dedicated towards growing our Community Pot to fund perinatal mental health training and grassroots programming across Canada.
Congratulations to all the inspiring organizations we are thrilled to be helping this year! None of this could have been possible without the passion and dedication of our Walk Leaders and to the thousands who donated and participated in Flora’s Walk this year.
