Heroes of the Galaxy: Walking for Hospice Care
The VNA Stroll for Hospice is more than just a walk—it’s a mission across the galaxy to support VNA Hospice, which has provided compassionate end-of-life care to nearly 19,000 patients and their families. Each year, Jedi, Rebels, and allies from all corners of the universe come together to honor their loved ones and gather sponsorships to ensure that no one faces their journey alone, regardless of financial circumstances. With the Force of kindness and generosity, we can continue to bring comfort, dignity, and support to those in need. Together, we make the best days possible for our patients and their families—now and always.
Enjoy an action-packed day in the park featuring: Hotdogs & hamburgers grilled on-site, DJ spinning galactic tunes, Bounce house for the young Padawans, Face painting and kids’ crafts, Photo Booth to capture memories, Raffle baskets, 50/50 drawing & more!
Take your first step toward the light—register and start collecting sponsorships today! Every dollar raised supports hospice patients and their families, ensuring compassionate care when it’s needed most.
May the Fourth Be With You as we walk for hope, for love, and for the light!
