We love to support our community, we do this by participating
and giving back to multiple organizations in the Grand Rapids
area.
Denise Hamill, founder of Run 4 a Cause started this organization
in 2010. Since then, our events have accumulated just over
$120K for the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital.
The Run 4 a Cause... Our Kids! 5K Run /Walk and 1.5 mile Family
Fun Run helps raise funds and awareness for life-saving services
at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital. Last year, Helen DeVos
Children’s Hospital cared for more than 190,000 children from
West Michigan and beyond. Through the generosity of the community,
children are able to receive world-class care right here in
Grand Rapids. Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital is improving
the quality of life for the brave and extraordinary children
and families who struggle with the adversity of illness and
injury.
Proceeds from this event will benefit two vital
programs at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital: Child Life Services
and Pediatric Hematology & Oncology. We also hold an annual
bowling event every year to support and kick off our
annual run.
