WALKING FOR KIDS is CHADS Coalition's largest & most
exciting annual fundraiser!
'KWK'
is a TEAM fundraising drive for 'kids' of any age -- Teens,
Adults and Families can form teams. 100% of the proceeds
from KIDS WALKING FOR KIDS will be donated to early-onset
depression research at leading medical universities.
The fundraising
drive begins NOW, and ends with an awesome celebration at Creve Coeur Park on
Saturday, May 10, 5:00 - 9:00. The event will have live bands -- including Say Goodbye & Zack Weber,
loads of games & activities, food, fireworks, and a sunset luminary walk, honoring those who have lost
their lives or who continue to struggle with depression. The celebration is family-friendly, and offers
