Walk It Out For Andrew

on we’re thinking about the kids spending this holiday season in hospital rooms instead of classrooms. in treatment chairs instead of family gatherings. facing challenges no child should ever have to face. 💛 our mission has always been to give kids and families facing cancer and blood disorders a chance to feel joy, connection, and a sense of normalcy when they need it most.

this year, we’re kicking off our wiofa wishlist holiday fundraiser, and we’re asking for your help to make the season brighter for the patients at advocate children’s hospital. swipe to see some of the places the kids want to go next year and what wishes you can help fulfill heading into 2026. we’ll be updating their wishlist all throughout the holiday season!

visit the link in our bio to make a gift today. every gift helps us create experiences that remind these kids that they’re supported, loved, and never alone. 🎁✨

🎃 some friends have already gathered at jefferson tap and they’re here to remind you it’s last call for tickets!

join us this saturday, november 1 at jefferson tap in chicago’s west loop for a halloween celebration that goes all out 👻 the decor is incredible, the energy is brewing, and every ticket helps us keep doing what matters most — supporting kids and families facing cancer and blood disorders at advocate children’s hospital.

your night of costumes, music, food + drinks, and raffles (including chances to win southwest airlines flights and more!) directly funds the programs that bring joy, laughter, and connection to the patients who inspire us every day.

so grab your friends, grab your costume, and grab your tickets at wiofa.org before they’re gone! 🎟️

our teen support group is built on the foundation of creating fun experiences for the patients all around chicagoland, and we’re bringing that same spirit to our annual event — new places all around our world class city, new experiences, a new wiofa.

and now for something different… on saturday november 1, we bring our annual event to jefferson tap in west loop for all hallows’ evening! a private second floor space with dinner and a bar package will be all ours to come together for a night of spooktacular fun and fundraising in the heart of one of chicago’s most popular neighborhoods.

the venues you’re used to may be changing, but the mission to support pediatric cancer and blood disorder patients always remains. let’s continue that mission together and get your tickets to all hallows’ evening now at wiofa.org

Check us out on the 12 Days of Advocate Children's Hospital! We’re so thankful to share our story and inspire others to give back during the holiday season.

From all of us at WIOFA, happy holidays to all our friends, family and supporters!
