  • Wednesday, May 11, 2022

VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System will host its 12th annual VA2K Walk Wednesday, May 18, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. at its Nashville, Alvin C. York, Clarksville, and Chattanooga campuses.

VA2K promotes healthy living while raising awareness and donations for Tennessee’s homeless veterans.

The event is free and open to the public. Participants can expect to stroll 2 kilometers outside TVHS facilities and should arrive 15 minutes early for registration. The Tennessee Army National Guard Band will perform at the Alvin C. York campus in Murfreesboro, and local musicians Jason Gregory and Derrell Vaughn will perform at Nashville.

Participants are encouraged to bring a voluntary donation such as new clothing, toiletries, packaged food, or bottled water. These donations will be collected and distributed to local homeless veterans. Donations are not required to participate.

The VA2K Walk is a rain-or-shine event, and registration is held on the day of the walk.

For additional registration and donation information, visit the TVHS website.
