If you are interested in participating, please follow the steps below:
- Join our walk team and complete your registration. You MUST be registered in order to walk!
- Start fundraising! Donations can be made online or using cash or check. Share the link to our team donation page on social media to help spread the word!
- RSVP to walk with us here. Special KC shirts will be provided, so let us know if you plan to attend. Friends & family are welcome!
Keep an eye out for additional details as we get closer to the event.

We wish her the best of luck in her retirement!

Kennedy Care Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
August is National Wellness Month! While Kennedy Care supports focus on wellness year-round, we want to take a moment to really dive into what wellness means and how it benefits all individuals this month.
Oftentimes, wellness can be seen as intimidating – something that not everyone has the time to keep up with, or the resources to do so. In reality, wellness can be practiced through small daily activities, such as: taking walks during the day, making healthy diet choices, setting aside alone time, and focusing on mental health in many different ways.
Please view the links below for more ways that you can practice self-care and keep yourself well. Kennedy Care is here to support you through your wellness journey!
