Step Beyond Steps: How Bonus Points Are Shaping buckheadWALKS! This April
Each April, buckheadWALKS! brings the Buckhead community together to move more, connect locally, and rethink how we get around.
While steps are the foundation of the challenge, this year’s bonus opportunities are what’s really shifting the leaderboard.
Participants can earn bonus points through activities that go beyond walking. These opportunities are designed to introduce new habits, support local businesses, and connect people to transportation options they may not have explored before.
More Than Just Steps
This year’s bonus activities are helping participants engage with Buckhead in new ways:
- Logging alternative trips through Georgia Commute Options
- Supporting local businesses
- Attending events across the district
- Participating in community initiatives tied to sustainability and mobility
A Standout This Year: CHaRM’s Recycling Challenge
One of the most popular bonus opportunities has been the CHaRM Corporate and Community Challenge.
Participants can reserve a time to recycle until April 25th and earn 500 bonus points!
Beyond the points, it’s creating awareness and sparking repeat action:
This is such a great idea for getting people involved in recycling. I honestly wish I’d brought more with me, but I’ll definitely be back soon with another load.
It’s really good to know about these places because we didn’t know they exist.
Why It Matters for Employers and Residents
For employers, these bonus activities are an easy way to encourage team engagement while supporting broader goals like sustainability, wellness, and reducing drive-alone trips.
For residents, it’s a chance to explore what’s already available in Buckhead, from trails and transit to local events and community resources.
And for everyone, it’s proof that small choices can have a measurable impact.
There’s Still Time to Join
The challenge runs through the end of April, which means there’s still time to climb the leaderboard.
Join the Buckhead Community Team and see what bonus opportunities you can unlock along the way!
