Quilts of Valor Take Five - Walk, Run, Block

QOVF Take 5: Walk, Run, Block is an opportunity for members and supporters to participate by walking or running a 5K race or making quilt blocks to create Quilts of Valor. To date, we have awarded over 430,000 Quilts of Valor across the United States, with more than 38,000 quilts awarded each year.

This year’s event will take place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, but you can participate any time during the week leading up to that date, choosing the activity that works best for you.

You can decide how you would like to participate in Take 5. Options include coordinating a 5K in your neighborhood, walking five blocks, or organizing a Sew Day to make quilt blocks. The flexibility of this virtual event allows you to get involved in whatever way works best for you.

If you have any questions about Take 5, please email take5@qovf.org, and a member of the Take 5 Committee will respond.
