Desert Gold Childhood Cancer Walk

About the event

On February 21, 2027, join the community at Brandi Fenton Park's Ramada 1 location for a heartwarming and engaging morning of walking and running to support children affected by childhood cancer. The event kicks off at 8:30 AM with participants encouraged to walk or run in solidarity, raising awareness and funds for those impacted by this challenging disease.
After the race, families can enjoy an array of activities designed to foster community spirit and hope. A Childhood Cancer Resource Fair will provide valuable information and support services, while live DJ entertainment sets a festive tone. Food trucks offer delicious treats, and jumping castles ensure that kids have plenty of fun. This event is not just about physical activity; it's also a celebration of unity and resilience.
Registration scholarships are available for families currently in active treatment, ensuring everyone can participate regardless of financial circumstances. Contact Maya at [email protected] for more details on how to secure these opportunities.
Join us as we walk and run together, creating meaningful memories while making a significant difference in the lives of children battling cancer.
