Unity Walk for Mental Health
May 16, 2026
South Mountain Reservation in West Orange, New Jersey, and virtually
In an effort to promote physical and mental wellness and community empowerment, ETV is hosting its
Unity Walk on May 16,
2026 at South Mountain Reservation in West Orange, New Jersey. The Unity Walk brings together
members of the Village,
Divine 9 chapters, church groups, civic and social organizations, books clubs, corporate employee
groups, walking clubs
and individuals to build community and benefit ETV's programming.
Data shows that regular physical exercise and time outdoors greatly improves mental and physical
health and creates the
perfect backdrop to exhale, experience the joy of nature, connect with others and feel inspired to
build community. This
event will take place from 8AM until 12PM with a vigorous 1.8 mile walk around the lake (or
virtually) with other fun
activities and health education related resources shared! Check-in starts at 8:00 AM, and the walk
begins at 9:00 AM.
Take a walk with us and/or sponsor the event or individual Unity walkers.
