Join us as we walk to give back summer to children with cancer. All funds raised go directly to Sunrise Day Camp–Chicago, a summer day camp for children with cancer and their siblings—offered completely free of charge. It’s a day filled with music, games, prizes, and joy—and an incredible opportunity to see our community come together to make a real difference. Learn more, register to walk or donate.
