Valley Forward

Valley Forward is an organization of young professionals dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Roanoke Valley. Since early 2007, we have actively promoted a series of economic, cultural, and recreational initiatives designed to make our region more appealing to educated professionals in the critical 25 to 34 age group. We believe that the economic vitality of our region is threatened when these people leave Roanoke to seek opportunities in more dynamic urban areas, either by choice or necessity.

Gallop 4 The Greenway is only one of many projects and initiatives that we will continue to promote, in the hopes of creating a brighter future for people of ages in the Roanoke Valley. For more information, or to join Valley Forward, please visit our website.
