About Shatterproof Walk

The opposite of addiction is connection.

The Shatterproof Walk to End Addiction launched in 2017 to unite communities and restore hope for the millions impacted by substance use disorder (SUD). The event has grown every year, but our goal remains the same: create a space for families and communities to come together to grieve those we have lost, to celebrate with those in recovery, and to walk to end addiction together.

Together, across the country, the Shatterproof community walks to raise awareness for substance use disorder, raise funds for advocacy, treatment access, and prevention programs, and bring hope to the more than 48 million Americans living with substance use disorder. We honor the lives of those we have lost, celebrate those who are living in recovery, and support individuals, families, and communities impacted by SUD.

Together, we can save lives. Together, we are strong. Together, we are Shatterproof.

Every Dollar & Every Conversation Makes a Difference

90% of individuals who need treatment for SUD don't receive it. Shatterproof is tackling the treatment gap. People deserve treatment and people deserve quality care.

Whether you walk, volunteer, sponsor, or donate, your voice matters and your dollar matters. Join the Shatterproof Walk to be a part of life-saving change for people with substance use disorder.
