Walk & Roll is an annual celebration of the Gillette Children's community and an important fundraising event. 

Walk & Roll provides opportunities to participate both in-person and from your own neighborhood. Twin Cities (Minnesota) residents will gather at Viking Lakes in Eagan to walk and roll around multiple route and distance options. Gillette patient families and friends residing outside the Twin Cities may participate from wherever they call home.  

Because Walk & Roll is an important fundraising event for Gillette, we've decided to forego a registration fee and instead focus on donations that support Gillette's patient and family services.

What does that mean for you? You're a walker or a roller and a Gillette ambassador. Reach out to your networks via social media, email, snail mail or phone, share why Gillette is important to you, and ask for donations. It's easier than you might think. Something that helps build momentum is to be your own first donor. Take whatever you would have spent on registering for this event and donate that amount toward your fundraising goal. When people see you're "in it", they'll want to join you.

Setting up a fundraising page is easy, there's no minimum amount to raise, and we'll help you with tips and resources along the way.

No! We do encourage all participants to be an active fundraiser though by making or receiving a donation of any amount. Those that do qualify for this year’s event t-shirt for free! 

Nope! While many of our participants do participate on a team made up of co-workers, neighbors, family members or friends, you do not need to be on a team nor create one to join us! Simply register as an individual.

We're excited to pull the Gillette community together at Viking Lakes in Eagan, MN, for this year's Walk & Roll. Those who can't get to Eagan may participate virtually—individually or as part of a team—from wherever they call home! Simply choose the Walk Anywhere option when registering. 

Yes, donations to the 2022 Walk & Roll event are tax-deductible. Receipts will be mailed/emailed to donors throughout the event. Cash donors will receive a receipt if a “Walk & Roll Cash Donation Slip” (found under "Event Resources") is included with it.

Secure your limited-edition Gillette Children's Walk & Roll t-shirt by registering and bringing in at least one donation by noon on September 16, 2022!  Participants are welcome to register and fundraise after that date, but we cannot guarantee t-shirt availability or sizing.  

By making a donation to your own walk page, or receiving a donation of any amount from a friend, family member, neighbor or colleague, you qualify to receive this year’s shirt. You’ll be able to pick up your shirt at Viking Lakes if you're walking in person.  If you registered to Walk Anywhere, we will mail the shirt to the address in your event registration after the event.
