Dates Announced for A Walk to Believe/Homecoming & Family Weekend

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – As announced at Saturday’s Scarlet-White Game, Rutgers football has set the dates for “A Walk to Believe” (Sept. 6, presented by GGL Law Firm) and Homecoming & Family Weekend (Oct. 18, presented by RWJBarnabas Health) for 2025. Game times will be released later.

A WALK TO BELIEVE

Coming off a successful debut at The Rutgers Boardwalk last year, the 15th annual “A Walk to Believe” returns to football game day and is presented by GGL Law Firm. Prior to the Sept. 6 matchup against Miami (Ohio), Rutgers Athletics Hall of Famer Eric LeGrand will lead a pregame parade down The Rutgers Boardwalk to celebrate this year’s event. Registration is open for $52 ($25 for students), including a t-shirt, a ticket to the game versus Miami (Ohio) and access to an exclusive pregame tailgate.

No. 52 launched Team LeGrand, a fundraising arm of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, to help individuals living with spinal cord injury and their families by supporting quality of life initiatives and emerging therapies that will get us to the end zone — cures for spinal cord injuries. To donate, please visit www.christopherreeve.org/awtb. The 2024 edition saw over 1,000 participants at The Rutgers Boardwalk and raised $120k.
