Walk for Children’s will return to Schenley Park on June 4, 2022! Walkers can still participate virtually, so whether you want to walk with us in person or walk at a location of your choice with family and friends, you can participate!
WHY WE WALK
“When she was just 5 days old, Olivia was sent to the Emergency Department at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh due to weight loss and failure to thrive. We are very lucky to have such wonderful doctors here at Children's Hospital who were able to find and treat Olivia’s heart condition to keep her healthy and safe. We were referred to the Heart Institute to manage her condition, where our experience has been absolutely great. Every doctor, nurse, and staff member at Children’s has been outstanding. To show our love and appreciation for Children’s and the Heart Institute, we participate in Walk for Children’s every year.”
- Kassandra & Cory, Olivia’s parents
FUNDRAISING MILESTONES
We will be recognizing our most committed walkers with fun online Walk badges. There are badges for different milestones - how much you or your team raises, if you’re a patient champion, and many more. Badges will automatically be added to your page once you hit the milestone.
Challenge your friends, family, and teammates to see who can collect the most badges on their personal fundraising page. Some badge winners will be formally recognized leading up to and on Walk day.
