How it All Got Started.
The Kids Walk began in 2001 as an 8th grade homeroom project at Packer Collegiate in Brooklyn NY. One student's little brother was finishing a 3-year treatment for stage IV neuroblastoma at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, so the students wanted to raise funds to help cure pediatric cancer. The 8th grade walkers raised $35,000, and they vowed to keep walking for kids with cancer. In 2002 the Packer students recruited teams from six other NYC schools, and every year thereafter new teams and new generations of students have joined the cause. To learn more visit our About page.
How the Funds are Used.
100% of the proceeds from the Kids Walk support pediatric research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the world's oldest and largest private cancer center. Kids Walk funds research which is used to find new treatments for hard-to-cure pediatric cancers. Click here to find more about how the funds raised in 2011 were used.
100% of proceeds benefit pediatric cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center!
