Inspiring Hope Walk

Join Us for the 8th Annual Czar’s Promise Inspiring Hope Walk
Sunday, October 11, 2026 | 10 AM – 2 PM
McKee Farms Park, Fitchburg

On Sunday, October 11, 2026, at McKee Farms Park in Fitchburg, WI, we will gather for our 8th annual walk — honoring beloved cancer-fighting pets and advancing life-saving pediatric and companion animal oncology research.

Because of YOU:

  • Children facing cancer at UW Health – American Family Children’s Hospital receive hope through advancing research.
  • Companion animals battling cancer at the UW School of Veterinary Medicine benefit from cutting-edge comparative oncology studies.
  • Local families navigating chemotherapy, radiation, and palliative care for their cherished pets receive emotional, educational, and financial support.

Your registration gift immediately fuels this mission and moves us closer to our $125,000 goal. Every step you take and every dollar you raise helps turn love into action.

Be a part of an unforgettable day of community, compassion, and celebration as we walk together in support of children and pets battling cancer. 

  • Honor and celebrate cancer fighting hero pets who truly inspire Hope!
  • Rock out to great music
  • Savor delicious bites from local food vendors
  • Bid on unique silent auction items
  • Stroll with your pup around the scenic park
  • Explore a vibrant tent village with over 50 community partners, veterinary professionals, sponsors and vendors

This event is more than a walk—it’s a celebration of the powerful bond between people and pets, and a chance to make a difference in their fight against cancer and help find a cure.

With heartfelt thanks to our Lifetime Legacy Sponsor, Edinger Surgical Options, and to all who make this event possible—we can’t wait to see you there!

CZAR'S PROMISE

It began as a love story; the attraction, immediate. In 2001, a small white fluffball with an infectious smile that had me at "hello", came bounding full steam ahead and into my arms; and yes, that was all it took.
