PARTICIPANT INFO


Thank you for your additional support by donating here:

Money raised this year will be used to pay for the many extra costs families incur when their child is sick or injured and cared for at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital including costs that aren’t covered by insurance such as co-pays, gas, lodging, food, mortgage payments, as well as other unmet needs. This also includes the “fun stuff’ such as games, toys, movies, and more that are so vital for healing. Families who will benefit from your generosity most likely never expected their child to have a serious health problem. Funds raised by this event will help lighten heavy burdens during difficult times, making an incredible difference in the lives of local children and their families.

EVENT SPECS & DONATION PROCEEDS INFORMATION

On September 27, the Upstate Foundation is hosting our 5th annual Walk Run for Kids, a fundraiser to benefit local pediatric patients and their families cared for at Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital in Syracuse.
