Join Dave, Dorene, and Marcus will be there at 11:30AM-1:30PM at Rally Round to benefit Children’s Wisconsin on Saturday, September 13th, at the Milwaukee Mile at the Wisconsin State Fair.
This event is a celebratory pep rally for kids, families, care providers, teams, and anyone who wants to support the health and well-being of children across Wisconsin.
Rally Round is the evolution of the beloved Al’s Run & Walk, originally founded by Marquette’s Coach Al McGuire in 1978.
After more than a year of listening to our community, we developed Rally Round to keep the spirit of Al’s Run alive while creating an experience that’s even more family-friendly.
100% of the funds raised support Children’s Wisconsin’s mission — from care to research, advocacy, and education.
Rally Round offers something for everyone:
- Music, games, sports, food trucks, and more- including DJ Shawna from the Bucks
- Interactive zones designed for all ages and abilities
- The chance to run, walk, or roll the iconic Milwaukee Mile track; every hour there will be honor laps recognizing patient families and providers
Key activity zones include:
- Family Fun Zone, powered by Enerpac – with bounce houses and classic games
- Get in the Game! Zone, powered by the Milwaukee Admirals – sports, including adaptive sports, as well as video games
- Imagination Station, powered by Badger Meter – arts, crafts, science opportunities
- Relaxation Station, powered by We Energies Foundation – a sensory-friendly space for reading and doing yoga
- The Hyundai Hope on Wheels car will be there for kids can put their hand prints on.
