Where’s WIOFA?
We’re up to something different in 2025! On Saturday, November 1, WIOFA brings our annual event to Jefferson Tap & Grille in the West Loop neighborhood for All Hallows’ Evening, a spooktacular night out to benefit childhood cancer and blood disorder patients supported by the Andrew Smialek Family Fund for Pediatric Oncology and Hematology.
$100 entry gets you into a private second floor space with dinner, a 3-hour bar package, and plenty of raffles to win! In the spirit of Halloween, the evening will include a special prize awarded to the best costume. Don’t want to dress up for the occasion? That’s OK! It’s not required for attendance and we will have a small selection of fun props and masquerade masks so you can get in on the fun however you’re comfortable doing so.
The venues you’re used to may be changing, but the mission to support pediatric and blood disorder patients remains the same. Join us for a new way to WIOFA.
Make a Donation
When you make a donation to Walk It Out For Andrew, you directly provide funding for the teens we support to attend a Support Group Outing. You help give every teen cancer and blood disease patient a chance to be a kid again, help create new friendships and lifelong memories, and help return a sense of normalcy to the abnormal routine of treatments and hospital stays for these wonderful kids.
