Walk & Roll is an annual celebration of the Gillette Children's community bringing together Gillette patients, family members, friends, employees and other supporters/community partners. Everyone is invited and welcome to join us for this free event on Saturday, September 21 at Viking Lakes in Eagan, MN. This is also an important fundraising event. 

Walk & Roll is a free community event with the option to fundraise to support services for Gillette patients and families.  Advance registration is highly recommended, although, day-of-event registrations are also welcome! 

What does that mean for you? You can be 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 invite donations. Fundraising is easier than you might think. Something that helps build momentum is to be your own first donor. When people see you've donated, they'll be more likely to join you.

Setting up a fundraising page is easy. There's no minimum amount needed to fundraise. Each and every donation will make a difference and is much appreciated. 

As a nonprofit hospital, donor support is an essential part of Gillette's mission to ensure every patient who enters our door has access to the same high level of expert care, regardless of their ability to pay. With your help, Gillette is opening minds to new possibilities for every child in our care through pioneering treatment—some of which is unreimbursed by insurance, but critical to the physical, emotional, psychological and social well-being of our patients and families. 

Additionally, your gifts will also fuel cutting-edge research that leads to ground-breaking treatment options—not only for kids treated at Gillette, but for children with rare and complex conditions around the world.

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.

Yes! This is a rain or shine event. If there is moisture in the forecast, please come prepared with your raincoat and/or umbrella.
