The 5K Monarch March

The Monarch Organization is hosting and ready for another 5K this summer! Donations this year will also be given to the children suffering in St. Jude Hospital. This year we are adding a new addition… TEAMS! Invite your family, friends, sports teams, and workplaces to a friendly competition! We’d love for you to join us. Come walk, run, or simply enjoy a sunny day at beautiful Busse Woods (Picnic Grove 32) as we come together for a great cause. The trail is an easy, peaceful 1.6-mile route—flat and accessible for all ages—with a turnaround point to guide us back to the picnic area. After the walk, we invite you to stick around for backyard games and laughter. The Monarch Organization, it is a non-profit that donates to children in need. Our parents started this organization when Piper, our sister, suddenly passed away at a young age. We have now restarted Monarch after a couple of years of no events. In past years, donations and money we have raised have gone to Make-A-Wish, St. Jude's, and local pediatric hospices. We are helping other children who are suffering because every child deserves to be a kid! We’d be so grateful to see you there—walking beside us, remembering, and giving back. With love, Cate and Charlie Dejlitko
