Don’t forget! In addition to entertainment, activation zones and delicious food, Rally Round offers the opportunity to run, walk or roll on the track in honor of loved ones and care providers. We will have Honor Laps each hour for our care teams. Each care team has a color, so if you’re associated with one in particular, dress accordingly and join the Honor Lap! We also know that many families see multiple care teams. Feel free to join as many Honor Laps as you'd like. Go to the Rally Round site to see the full Honor Lap schedule and to register today: https://childrenswi.org/rallyround

We will be reserving the outside of our track for those who still want to lace up their shoes and run! The inside of the track will be for strolling and rolling. Whether running on the outside of the track or going leisurely on the inside of the track, everyone will be moving together for a great cause! Please note that Rally Round will not be a distance-focused event, meaning the course will not be USA Track & Field-certified.

See you Saturday!

Our Story

If anything is uniquely Milwaukee, it’s what can be achieved when a small group of people decide to create change for the better. During Milwaukee’s infancy, seven women who believed children needed specialized health care beyond what could be found at an adult hospital bucked the system in order to start what is now Children’s Wisconsin. What began in a small row house in 1894 is today the No. 4 pediatric hospital in the nation – a feat in and of itself considering it serves the smallest market footprint of any other top-10 children’s hospital. Ask around and the vast majority of Wisconsinites will tell you their lives have been touched in some way by Children’s Wisconsin. In fact, look no further than every September, when 15,000 people line up on Wisconsin Avenue to participate in a time-honored Milwaukee tradition – Briggs and Al’s Run & Walk for Children’s Wisconsin. Their outward support for Children’s Wisconsin – and the thousands of others who over the years have invested in this true community asset – honors what was begun by those seven brave, resourceful women. And thanks to this truly Milwaukee asset, Wisconsin kids have a dedicated advocate to ensure they receive nothing less than the very best care possible right in their own backyard at Children’s Wisconsin or one of its 70 specialty clinics and 20+ primary care clinics throughout the state – whether for the most routine or for the most serious health concerns.
