SPONSOR A HERO

Donate to give our patients at The Children's Hospital for Rehabilitation a chance to participate on race day in the Kids Fun Dash or 1 Mile Walk with their caregiver!  

So many of our patients would love the chance to come out to the Zoo and show off all the amazing progress they are making in their therapy sessions and enjoy a day at the Zoo after the events!  

Three options to choose: 

  • $25 - Kids Fun Dash - patient and caregiver included in this price
  • $30 - 1 -Mile  Walk - patient and caregiver included in this price
  • $20 -   Virtual Option -  this category is designed specifically for our patients that cannot leave the hospital to attend the race in person! These patients - will be provided with the chance to participate in a special event at the hospital the day before the race!
