There will be raffles and door prizes. A $10 door fee applies; kids have free admission. Proceeds raised during this fundraising event will directly benefit families affected by cancer.

Tracey Stewart, Founder and Executive Director of Gracious Gifts, said, “Come join us for this amazing display of local fitness & wellness resources Elmhurst offers to make it your healthiest year yet. Children are welcome and will be entertained with crafts and activities while parents participate. The event is designed so that attendees may join us and participate in all, or just for part of the event. All fitness levels welcome, or choose not to workout, but choose to come, as you’ll be glad you did! ”

Gracious Gifts is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide emotional, financial, and community support to families facing cancer treatment and recovery.
