Description

Ride & Stride for Wishes is a fantastic, family-friendly event to be held August 29, 2010 at Westfield Old Orchard Shopping Center in Skokie, IL.

We are pleased to offer a Children's Parade, a 3-mile walk, as well as a 10-mile and 35-mile bicycle ride through Chicago's scenic North Shore. We welcome all children to join us for the Parade by decorating their big wheels, strollers, tricycles, bicycles and wheelchairs or even themselves for a special mini-ride through the Old Orchard Shopping Center.


All walkers, riders, supporters and volunteers are invited to celebrate after the ride or walk with music and fun activities. With your support, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois hopes to raise $130,000, enough funds to grant the wishes of over 25 children in Illinois living with life-threatening medical conditions.

Please note the following procedure if there is severe or dangerous weather on the day of the event:
If there is severe weather that threatens the safety of participants, the event will be cancelled and will not be rescheduled. If the event is cancelled, we will update this website accordingly and an e-mail will be sent out to all pre-registered participants and volunteers by 5am the day of the event. For those of you who pre-registered by August 6th, we will be mailing your t-shirt and goodie bag to you.


If you have additional donations or pledges that you would like to send to Make-A-Wish, please send them to the following address: The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois, Attn: Ride and Stride for Wishes, 640 N. LaSalle, Suite 280, Chicago, IL 60654.


Thank you for your support of Make-A-Wish and helping us make dreams come true!
