1st Annual Run 4 a Cause…Our Kids! 5K Run/Walk and 1.5 mile Family Fun Run /Walk will help raise funds and awareness for the life-saving services at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital. Last year, Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital cared for more than 190,000 children from West Michigan and beyond. Through the generosity of the community, children are able to receive world-class care in Grand Rapids. Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital is improving the quality of life for the brave and extraordinary children and families who struggle with the adversity of illness and injury.
Proceeds from this inaugural event will benefit two vital programs at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital: Child Life Services and Pediatric Hematology & Oncology. The extraordinary team of Certified Child Life Specialists combine play with education to explain medical procedures and create a safe environment for kids to share fears and express joys, and to have fun.
