Walktober is an annual fundraiser to help Delta Pacific Dental Hygienists' Association raise funds for dental public outreach in the Northern Central Valley area of California. Our goal is to bring awareness of oral health to our community. This includes, but not limited to, purchasing toothbrushes, fluoride varnish, disposables for community events, and more.

The month of October is special as we celebrate Dental Hygiene Month. During October, dentistry focuses on the importance of dental hygiene, oral health preventive services and the roles they play in a healthy lifestyle. It also highlights the role of the dental hygienist and the active part they play in helping their patients and the communities they serve. 

Help us serve the needs of our community by having fun during Walktober. All you have to do is walk, run or skip at least 1 exercise mile a day until the end of the event. Feel free to track more. You can do it alone, with friends, on a treadmill or on a trail. The possibilities are endless. The goal is get you moving and having fun. Prizes will be given to the most active particpants: 1. the person  who tracks the most miles, 2. the person who share the most on social media (FB or instagram), 3. the person who is the most consistent (tacking miles everyday). If you are posting to social media be sure to use #walktober2023 and tag Delta Pacific. 

Lastly, we will be holding an in person event October 21, 2023 where our winners will be announced. So stay tuned for details!!

Can't wait to see you out there.
