From the Organizer

The Because We Care Childhood Cancer Awareness Walk is more than just an event, it’s a powerful movement of compassion, community, and unwavering support for children bravely fighting cancer. Together, we gather to honor their strength, uplift their families, and stand united in the belief that no child should fight alone.

This year, we’re elevating the experience to bring even more impact and connection to our community. The moment our community shows up BIG… the moment love gets loud… the moment we remind families fighting childhood cancer that they are NOT alone  

The Because We Care Walk is BACK this September! 
And let’s be real… we don’t do anything halfway  

We’re talking:
  Fun for the whole family
  Food, games, and community vibes

Emotional moments you’ll never forget
And a whole lot of LOVE wrapped in gold ribbons
 

THIS IS A FREE COMMUNITY EVENT!  

and this year we have added a CAR SHOW!

Come out, bring your people, and be part of something bigger than all of us.
We will have t-shirts, food, and raffle tickets available for purchase at the event… BUT  
 

EARLY BIRD SPECIAL = THE BEST DEAL ENDS August 29th 2026

Kids: $20
When you grab the early bird bundle, you get:
