The 10th annual Walk to Remember, presented by Oswald Companies, is slated for the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo on Sunday, June 13. The event benefits Hospice of the Western Reserve and is open to anyone wishing to celebrate the memory of loved ones while raising funds for services not reimbursed by insurance. These include pediatric hospice, music, art and pet therapies, community grief support services and more.

Since its inception, the Walk has raised more than $1.4 million. Online registration is now open at hospicewr.org/WTR, and is $25 per adult, $12 per child (ages 3-12) or $75 per family (two adults and up to three children). It includes admission to the Zoo and RainForest and a commemorative Walk to Remember face mask. Day of event registration is also available. Wristbands and face masks are required and will be distributed at drive-thru registration tents beginning at 7:30 a.m. To ensure social distancing, entry to the zoo will begin at 8 a.m. All participants must enter by 1 p.m. and can begin walking with their teams upon arrival. Due to COVID-19 safety protocols, no formal kickoff ceremony is planned this year.

Donations are also appreciated and can be made online at hospicewr.org/WTR.  For more information, contact Monica Cowans at [email protected], or (216) 383-3714.
