- Willow House is hosting its 8th annual Walk to Remember & 5K Run for Hope on Sunday, August 21, 2016. The purpose of this event is to raise much needed funds to support grieving children & families and experience a meaningful and enjoyable opportunity to honor the memory of a loved one. Get your team together and join Chicago Bears player, Anthony Adams, Chicago Wolves mascot, Skates, and hundreds of other families, corporations and schools as they walk or run to benefit Willow House.
The CARA certified 5k race begins at 8:00 AM with a memorial walk following, starting at 9:00 AM. If you cannot make it to the event, you can still order a Memory Marker for the memorial walk, purchase a brand new dri-fit t-shirt, create your own fundraising page, or donate to help children and their families dealing with grief and loss.
Willow House is the only independent organization in the state whose sole mission and passion is to serve grieving children.
