WALK FOR WATER

The 2026 Walk for Water is set for April 28-30!
​Mark your calendars to join WQRF and Brio Water Technology in stepping up for water research. Registration info is below!

This short-format steps challenge will coincide with WQA's 2026 Convention, April 28-30.  Best of all, you can walk from anywhere - whether at home, the office or if you're at Convention! We will be using an app called Pacer Health to track your steps. You can use your phone to count your steps OR connect to your favorite fitness tech device. It’s that simple! Instructions about the Pacer Health app will be sent to participants in advance of the walk.

This is an easy way to support the mission of WQRF in that YOU decide your level of participation:

• as a donor 
• as a participant (from home, the office or Convention center) to see how many steps you can log in a day
• as someone who is "in-it-to-win-it" and for all of the bragging rights​

Get your entire office to participate and your family/friends!  This is the easiest way to make a difference for WQRF and water research.  

Step it Up from Anywhere
