Many step up for Virtual Walk
More than 1,400 people walked for cancer survivors, families, friends and volunteers for Wellness House June 29 in the virtual Walk for Wellness benefit. The 2,500 donors raised $558,000, reaching 89 percent of the $625,000 goal.
Even though the event was different this year due to COVID-19, the community showed their support for Wellness House by walking together, while at a distance.
“We are so very grateful for the outpouring of support from the community,” said Lisa Kolavennu, executive director.
The event was lived streamed from the front porch of the main location, The Kay and Mike Birck Home of Hope and featured Kolavennu ,; Dan Wagner, presenting sponsor, The Inland Real Estate Group of Companies Inc .; and a participant who shared her Wellness House experience.
The top five teams that raised the most before and after the event are Team Inland, Crown Royals Team (Wellness House Program Participants), 50 Shades of Ben Gay (The Knuepfer Family), MTCares (Millennium Trust) and Nonnie’s Warriors (Deborah Hultquist and Family).
During this challenging time, cancer support is needed more than ever as people affected by cancer navigate the challenges of COVID -19 in addition to cancer. Since March 16, more than 17,000 visits have been made to Wellness House online programs. The incredible show of support from the community will enable Wellness House to provide online and future in-person cancer support at no cost.
