It's an Annual Fundraiser for The Joel Burchfield Memorial Fund

The Joel Burchfield Memorial Fund is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting local high school seniors and youth in sports. The organization was created by Dan and Laura Burchfield after their 11 year-old son, Joel, tragically passed away in a drowning accident in 1996 in Moorpark, CA.

How Did the Spirit Walk Start?

The Joel Burchfield Spirit Walk began in 2015 and was born from a need to support the scholarship fund. Dan decided that year to walk 105 miles along the Pacific Coast Highway as a tribute to Joel and as a way to fundraise donations. He wrote a book about this endeavor, My Journey With Joel, and all proceeds go towards supporting the scholarship fund.

Our Community Impact

Now in its 11th year, The Joel Burchfield Spirit Walk has raised over $100,000 through donations from individual community members and local businesses alike. This has funded scholarships for Moorpark High School Seniors, as well as a newer branch of giving called "Joel's Angels" that supports youth in sports.
