Willow House Willow House supports children, families, schools and communities who are coping with grief and the death of a loved one.

Willow House core services include peer support groups for children, teens, and families, provided at no charge. Groups are located in Arlington Heights, Chicago, Libertyville and Bannockburn, including a group for children and families grieving a su***de death.

Though we could not walk together in person, our hearts are full of gratitude for this incredible community. 💙

While A Walk to Remember was cancelled out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our community due to warnings of inclement weather, your dedication, love, and generosity have been felt every step of the way.

Because of you, we’ve raised $38,000 toward our $40,000 goal to fund free grief support for kids, teens, and families across our region. You can still help us reach our goal by making a donation or entering our raffles!

Here is how you can stay connected today:
🕯️ Virtual Closing Ceremony (Tonight at 6 PM): We are gathering virtually to honor the memory of those we carry with us. Please reach out to Willow House directly to request the Zoom link to join!

🎟️ Raffles Extended: Ticket purchases are extended through Thursday at 2 PM! Enter Today at bit.ly/RafflesWTR26

👕 Shirt & Bib Pickup: Registered participants can schedule a time to collect their t-shirts and race bibs.

To our sponsors, Team Challenge participants, and every family—thank you. No family should grieve alone, and this community makes sure they don't.
