The ninth year of Gait-to-Gate, Trilogy's community-wide walking challenge and concentrated “giving back charity drive”, is almost here! You spoke, and we listened. This year, we're simplifying the program and focusing on what matters most: movement, connection, and giving back.
Open to all Members, this beloved annual tradition kicks off on November 1st and runs for 30 days. Designed for all fitness levels, Gait-to-Gate is a fun way to stay active, connect with friends and neighbors, and support our local community. And if walking isn't your thing, you can still participate by contributing non-perishable food donations throughout the month to help those in need.
Step Up and Get Moving
Created to help Members stay active as we head into the holiday season, Gait-to-Gate encourages everyone to get out, get moving, and have fun along the way. Together, each Trilogy community will work toward individual goals throughout November.
Whether you're joining an organized walk, taking a stroll with friends, or logging steps on your own, every step counts!
Give Back from the Heart Community-By-Community
Throughout November, each community will also be collecting non-perishable food donations for local food banks. Especially as the holiday season approaches, these food banks often experience increased demand. Every donation helps make a difference for families in need. "Feeding America has reported that since 2020, the need for food assistance has remained at historically high levels across the United States. National food insecurity has risen by approximately 25-30% from pandemic-era lows, with nearly 47 million Americans experiencing food insecurity. Food banks continue to report elevated demand, and by 2025 many communities were seeing near-record levels of pantry use among working families and older adults living on fixed incomes."
Members are encouraged to contribute as often as they'd like by placing items in the collection bins located at their Club’s designated locations. Together, we can help stock the shelves and support our neighbors during this important time of year.
Join the Challenge
Keep an eye out for special events and activities throughout November designed to help you reach your step goals and connect with fellow Members.
Donation bins will be available beginning November 1st. Let's make this year's Gait-to-Gate our most active, connected, and generous one yet!
