2026 UH Adler Bereavement Programs Remembrance Walk

UH Remembrance Walk New Date: Saturday, September 5, 2026

Our 4th Annual Remembrance Walk has been rescheduled to Saturday, 9/5/26. We apologize for having to postpone the original date due to the poor air quality from the Canadian wildfires. We very much looked forward to gathering this weekend with parents, family members, friends, and UH staff to celebrate the memories of our loved ones. In the end, we had to prioritize the health of our participants.

We appreciate your patience and flexibility and look forward to gathering soon.
