Make A Difference

Each Operation Walk Denver mission represents an immense logistical undertaking. On average, 8,000 pounds of supplies (such as prosthetics, surgical equipment, medications, bandages, crutches, etc.) must be shipped ahead to the host country and cleared through customs before the mission can even begin. This is in addition to the cost of transporting team members as well. On average, a typical trip to South or Central America costs over $100,000, including shipping charges.

Although many supplies are donated and team members are all volunteers, every other aspect of these mission trips are only possible through generous donations. Contributions go directly to providing life-changing surgeries. 100% of these donations go toward expenses associated with joint replacements and training in third world countries.

Operation Walk Denver is a not-for-profit volunteer organization and so relies heavily on contributions to fulfill its mission of restoring the joy of walking to people in developing countries. Because it is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, gifts made qualify as charitable contributions for income tax purposes.

The goal of Operation Walk is to not only raise money for this worthy cause, but to gain awareness in the community and to give those who would like to support this type of significant work an opportunity to do so.
