Every Step Helps a Child Heal

Gun violence changes lives forever, but healing is possible when a community comes together.

A Walk Toward Healing is more than a fundraiser. It is a day to honor survivors, remember loved ones, build community, and stand together in hope. Families, friends, neighbors, and advocates of all ages are invited to walk alongside Moms Demand Action and Chicago Survivors as we support children and families navigating the unimaginable loss of a loved one to gun violence.

Last year, because of our incredible community, A Walk Toward Healing raised more than $40,000. Those funds helped Chicago Survivors expand its Storytellers Camp by 50%.

Chicago Survivors' Storytellers Camp is a healing program designed specifically for children and teens who have experienced the loss of an immediate family member due to gun violence. Through storytelling, creative expression, peer connection, and trauma-informed support, campers discover they are not alone and begin building hope for the future.

This year, we're walking to continue that impact.

Every registration, donation, fundraising page, and shared story helps ensure that more children and families have access to the healing resources they deserve.

Whether you're walking in memory of someone you love, supporting a survivor, or simply believing that every child deserves hope, your participation makes a difference.

A Day for the Whole Community

A Walk Toward Healing is a family-friendly event where everyone is welcome. Along the route and throughout the day, you'll find activities that bring our community together, including:

🍧 Snow cones
🍭 Cotton candy
🎨 Face painting
🎶 Music
💙 Opportunities to honor survivors and remember loved ones

Together, we will celebrate resilience, build connections, and demonstrate that healing happens when communities show up for one another.

Registration is free. If you're able, please consider making a donation. Every gift helps Chicago Survivors continue expanding programs like Storytellers Camp and provide healing, hope, and support to children and families impacted by gun violence.

Thank you for helping us take another step toward healing.
