October 5th, 2024 | Town Center Park in Grand Chute
On Saturday, October 5th, the Fox Cities chapter hosted the 15th Annual Awareness Walk at Town Center Park in Grand Chute, and it was a wonderful success! We were thrilled to welcome over 1,000 walkers, along with over 100 dedicated volunteers, numerous vendors, and community resource advocates. More than 100 raffle prizes were awarded, and together, we raised an incredible $114,000+ for DSAW-FC, which will help us continue expanding our programs, services, and events.
The weather was perfect, with sunshine and a light breeze (though a little less wind would have been nice!). Families and children had a blast meeting Star Wars characters, visiting the petting zoo, jumping on trampolines, climbing the rock wall, navigating the bounce obstacle course, riding the train, getting their faces painted, snapping fun photos in the photo booth, and enjoying time with friends and family.
This year’s event was a tremendous success at our new walk venue. Attendees enjoyed a delicious lunch of grilled hot dogs, thanks to the Appleton Elks, along with bananas and water generously donated by Festival Foods, and chips and fruit snacks. TerraVerde’s food truck provided coffee, and Easy Street Cookies offered tasty treats for purchase.
Thank you to everyone who made this day possible—we couldn't have done it without you!
Another huge thank you to Dream Lit Studios for taking amazing photos!
