Join us for the 2026 Rainbow Bridge Memorial Walk at the UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital on Saturday, October 24, 2026!

Every animal leaves a lasting memory in our hearts. We offer this event as an opportunity to unite our community through shared celebration of the human-animal bond. Named in honor of the “Rainbow Bridge” poem, the Rainbow Bridge Memorial Walk will feature music, remembrance activities, community resources, and a group memorial walk with luminaria honoring cherished animals who have passed.

As part of the UGA College of Veterinary Medicine, we strive to provide exceptional animal care while offering a variety of support services to the community, including grief support. The Rainbow Bridge Memorial Walk is an extension of this service.

*Registration is required to attend and due by Oct. 4*

Adults: $25  |  Children 12 & under: $12
