Willow House pivots from one-day 5K Walk To Remember to week-long series of virtual activities Sept. 21-27 to positively remember a child, parent or sibling who has died. The fundraising event supports free grief services and programming.
BANNOCKBURN, Ill. - illiNews -- Willow House incorporates COVID protocols for the 12th Annual Walk To Remember, changing the one-day happening to a virtual event and extending the celebration for a full week, Sept. 21-27. Family-friendly activities are hosted online, 5K Walk or Run teams can be created and tracked online, and a first-ever Drive To Remember concludes the Willow House Week To Remember on Sunday, Sept. 27. The nonprofit's goal is to raise $50,000 to ensure the organization continues its free grief services and programming in the greater Chicago area for those who are suffering the loss of a parent or child.
"Grieving the loss of a loved one under normal circumstances --pre-COVID-- is difficult enough. Now due to COVID, the way we mourn the loss of a loved one has changed dramatically," says Willow House Executive Director David Scheffler. "There is less human interaction and connection, and a greater sense of isolation. Willow House has experienced a significant increase in the number of phone calls and inquiries seeking our services since late February and your support is greatly needed to allow us to continue providing services free of charge," he adds.
