Hybrid event for individuals, teams across the country benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
West Palm Beach, FL– Registration is open for the St. Jude Walk/Run Palm Beach presented by VoLo Foundation during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month at 7 a.m. ET on Saturday, Sept. 21 at the Waterfront Commons in Downtown West Palm Beach.
The St. Jude Walk/Run provides supporters of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® a chance to take action and walk or run in person and virtually to raise funds and awareness for St. Jude. Thanks to generous supporters, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food, so they can focus on helping their child live. This year’s St. Jude
Walk/Run series is nationally presented by Window World, Marcum Foundation and Kia.
For those attending the St. Jude Walk/Run in person, there will be food, family entertainment, a kid dash and a St. Jude patient family speaker who will share why the community’s support means so much to families like theirs. While the event is free, participants can earn incentives for each fundraising level they meet and include such items as a t-shirt, windbreaker, home theater projector, cooler or fire pit. In addition to VoLo Foundation, other event sponsors include Federal Capital Partners, First Horizon Foundation, Florida Power & Light Company and HotelPlanner.
“We are proud partners of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital,” said VoLo Foundation trustees, Thais Lopez Vogel and David S. Vogel. “St. Jude is on the frontline of the humanitarian crisis helping families when a child gets seriously sick with cancer. We encourage all of those who can to help. Join us on September 21 for the St. Jude Walk/Run in Palm Beach. It’s an opportunity to do something good for your own health, while benefiting the families served by St. Jude.”
