20 Years. 20 Walks. Let's Finish Strong.
Saturday, July 13, 2024, Escanaba, Michigan
5:00 - 8:00 p.m. ('cause this one is going to be a party!)
Yes, that's right. This is our last walk. And we're leveling it up! We'll have live music from Bill Rinne, food trucks from The French Fry Factory and Papa Lee's Sweets and Treats, games, a 50-50 raffle, and a huge prize for the walker who raises the most money.
Thank you all for supporting brain tumor research and each other for these 20 years. Let's celebrate one more time together.
Can't make it to the party? You can still support the walk by purchasing a t-shirt at our virtual store. The virtual store will go online June 28 and will be available for three weeks. See eskywalkinthepark.com for details.
All proceeds from this fundraising activity benefit Superior Health Foundation, and are earmarked exclusively for the Upper Michigan Brain Tumor Center at UP Health System – Marquette.

About Walk in the Park
The family of Don McInnis started Walk in the Park in his memory in 2005, after he passed away from a glioblastoma in 2004. The family of Sue Anderson later joined with them in organizing this event, with the addition of the ever popular bake sale. 2010 saw a record turnout, as friends and family of Amy Chenier Kositzke, who lost her battle with a brain tumor earlier that year, showed up to honor her memory. In 2017, the UMBTC honored Walk in the Park with the team/group John Kerry Award for our years of hard work and support of the UMBTC.
The walk serves to raise money for the advancement of brain tumor research; however, the walk is more than just a fundraiser. It's about raising awareness. It's a chance for brain tumor patients and their families to connect with others who are fighting the same battle. Walkers share stories of loss, challenge, and hope with those who can truly understand.
We walk to honor the memories of Don, Sue and all those who have passed, and to send our strength to those facing brain tumors. With the help of our generous sponsors, walkers and donors, we continue to share hope.
