This family-friendly day brings people together to support more than 1,100 youth and families across Wisconsin through Lad Lake’s trauma-informed, evidence-based programs focused on mental health, healing, and education.

Whether you’re cycling through the scenic Kettle Moraine, tackling the 5K Trail Challenge, walking at your own pace, there’s an option for everyone. Enjoy music, kids’ activities, a delicious barbecue lunch, and great company all while making a meaningful difference.
