Quilts of Valor Take Five - Walk, Run, Block

It’s that time of year for our annual Take 5: Walk, Run, Block virtual event, where members and supporters will walk or run a 5k race or make quilt blocks to create Quilts of Valor! To date, we have awarded over 400,000 Quilts of Valor across the United States with over 38,000 quilts awarded each year.

This year’s event will take place on Saturday, June 14, 2025, but you can participate any time during the week leading up to that date, with your choice of race activity. The event’s culmination, on Flag Day, is a day to celebrate patriotism, and those people who have sacrificed so much to protect our US flag. 

From June 8 - 14, you can choose how you would like to participate in Take 5; from coordinating a 5k in your neighborhood, to walking five blocks, to organizing a Sew Day to make quilt blocks, the flexibility of this virtual event creates an opportunity for you to be involved in whatever way works best for you.  

For Quilts of Valor Foundation members, you can even use this event as a way to raise funds for your group, by collecting pledges for number of miles, minutes, or quilt blocks.
