From the Organizer
Asylum Pride House is excited to announce our second annual Welcome Walk!
We will be walking or running a 5K around The Ott Center Indoor Track at UPenn to raise funds and show our physical support of LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers here in Philadelphia PA. Registration is $20 until the end of August and then it will go up to $30. You can show further support by making an individual donation, raising funds, or bringing cleaning / housing supplies to the drive on walk day.
All participants will receive a Welcome Walk 2026 T-shirt with their registration fee. Everyone will also receive a fundraising page, but fundraising is not required. Go the extra mile and join or create a team!
We want everyone to be able to participate, if cost is an issue feel free to reach out at contact@asylumpridehouse.org
