Vista Life Innovations invites community members, families, friends and supporters to lace up their walking shoes for the annual WALK for Vista!, taking place Sunday, October 25, 2026, at Vista’s Madison Campus, 107 Bradley Road.
The annual fundraiser brings together nearly 300 participants, including Vista students and members, their families, staff, community partners and supporters, for a three-mile walk through downtown Madison and along Connecticut’s scenic shoreline.
Check-in and walk-in registration begin at 9:00 a.m., with morning refreshments available before the WALK steps off at 10:00 a.m., led by the Lancraft Fife and Drum Corps.
More than a fundraiser, WALK for Vista! is an opportunity for the community to come together in support of Vista’s mission to empower individuals with disabilities to achieve personal success, greater independence and a true sense of belonging.
Net proceeds from WALK for Vista! support Vista’s mission and help provide the training, resources, opportunities and support that empower Vista students and members throughout their lives.&nbsp;
Participants can register individually, create or join a team, fundraise, or make a donation in support of the event. Online registration remains open through Saturday, October 24 at 10:00 a.m., and walk-in registration will be available beginning at 9:00 a.m. on event day.To register, start a team, fundraise or donate, visit the WALK for Vista! 2026 event page:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.vistalifeinnovations.org/walk-for-vista" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.vistalifeinnovations.org/walk-for-vista</a>
