Register here to walk in the May 12, 2012 Kids Walk for Kids with Cancer! 

NOTE: Online registration has closed but you can still register day of the event by filling out a waiver on-site, bringing a signed brochure, or printing a waiver and bringing it to the event-- the waiver needs to be signed by a parent/guardian for walkers under 18.

 

Information on How to Register 

You can register online or at the event. Just check off your chosen location when you register online – NYC, NJ, KS or CT! Registration is free, although we request $20 donation at the event from walkers who not get sponsors. 

Registering online automatically creates your personal fundraising page, so that donors can sponsor you online.  You can also create and join an online team.  Make sure to check off the applicable box if you are creating or joining a team!

When you register online you also create a "My Active" account, which allows you to be notified by email when you are sponsored online, and to view your list of online donors. Active.com is the company that powers the Kids Walk website and provides our online registration and fundraising capabilities. If you have registered for prior Kids Walks, you already have a “My Active” account and can log into it before registering for this year’s Kids Walk.

Registration for minors (under age 18) 

Online registration can be done by walkers 14 years and older, but parents can register online for walkers under age 14. Walkers of any age can register at the event. A parent will need to sign a Release of Liability & Publicity Consent for walkers under age 18.
  • If you are age 14-17 and registering online, register in the presence of a parent or guardian so he or she can sign the waiver electronically. 
  • If you are under 14 and wish to be registered online, a parent or guardian can register him/herself and register you at the same time, which will also create an online fundraising page for you.
  • If you are under 18 and registering at the event, a waiver must be signed by your parent or guardian. You can use the waiver in our brochure or download it here, and turn in the signed waiver at the event. 
If you still have any questions, just Contact Us, or call Stephanie Rigione of MSKCC at 646-227-2120.  Thank you for walking with us on May 12!

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.

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.
