A Walk for the Bear WILL happen as a virtual event! Thank you for joining us in the fight against pediatric cancer! The world has changed but our mission has not! Now more than ever your support is critical in supporting the kids and families impacted by these horrible diseases. |
Event Details
Due to Covid-19 and the current limitations set by the state of Illinois, A Walk For The Bear 2020 will be a virtual event. The event will be three days from Friday, October 23rd to Sunday, October 25th. During this time, you can walk or run wherever and whenever you choose at a safe social distance. Perhaps you will choose your neighborhood or favorite park or even your own backyard. We still want to embrace a Halloween theme event, have fun and dress up in a Halloween costume.
Register today and start a team, join a team or participate as an individual. Then, fundraise for the kids Bear Necessities helps and to defeat childhood cancer. Your fundraising is critical at this time and will help to make it possible for Bear Necessities to carry out its' mission to eliminate pediatric cancer and to provide hope and support to those who are touched by it.
