CureFest 2020 will take place this September 26 but in a new interactive virtual format that will allow many more families from across the world to participate in their own communities.

This year’s virtual event will feature:

• Rather than one large walk in Washington, DC, this year will feature hundreds of informal neighborhood One Voice walks around the country. 

• Participants will be interconnected virtually through an interactive, custom app that will count the group’s steps for the day. Based on the number of participants, we will have a group goal for steps taken on September 26. There will also be unique ways for families to share updates and words of encouragement with other families.

• Families will have the opportunity to honor their child by submitting a short, personalized video. Each video submitted will be edited into a tribute video that will be shared on social media on September 26 and beyond. Additional details will be provided later this month.

• CureFest program with speakers and performers which will be streamed on September 26, 2020 prior to the community walks.

• Families will have the opportunity to purchase honor beads and medals for survivors, fighters and siblings. We will also have a special tribute for children who have passed away from childhood cancer.

• Families will be encouraged to hold small candlelight vigils in their own yards or neighborhoods the evening of September 26.
