2025- 4th Annual Walk for Smiles!

Leave a comment

Another year, another annual walk!
2025 was our 4th annual Walk for Smiles and each year it keeps getting better!

We continue to have great turnout and anticipate that our event will continue to grow! Millennium Park is still an amazing place to host and the weather seems to warm up just enough each year!

This year, we again had over 100 attendees including some who register from out of state (we seriously appreciate this support from far away!). We had yummy food, and fun activities; including a tattoo station, a fairy hair station, and a bag decorating station for Kids Food Basket!

Huge shoutout to this year’s sponsors:

Platinum:
Summit Landscaping
Refined Sensory Solutions

Gold:
Lacks enterprises, INC

Silver:
Nawara Brothers Home Store
Grand Armory Brewing
Veneklasen Construction

In kind donations:

Without our sponsors, this event would not be what it is. To have the support of our local community means so much to us. In turn, we ask that you support these local businesses whenever able!

Thank you all, again, SO MUCH! Stay tuned for the announcement of our 2026 walk, which will take place on October 24, 2026!

We paused in 2023, but we were back and better than ever in 2024!

Our annual walk was again, a big success! We had around 200 registrants and their support never fails to astound us! We walked at the beautiful Millennium Park on October 26, 2024!

Our sponsors also provided such amazing support and helped us put on a special event! Sending all our sponsors a huge THANK YOU for believing in us and supporting our mission!

Our event is meant to be a family friendly, trick or treat walk, so we love seeing everyone show up with their costumes on! This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we really try to put on a fun event that brings people back year after year! We had delicious bagel sticks from Terra bagels, Timbits from Tim Hortons, fresh apples from Michigan apple farms, and LOTS of candy and treats along our walk!

This event typically brings our organization around $8-9000 which is always being put to good use to support our community. Our application for requests is ALWAYS open, so we’re ready to receive your requests! And check out our past events, while you’re here browsing!

Be on the lookout for our next walk, October 2025!
