NEW IN 2025: This year, the mission-critical Monarch Walk fundraiser joins forces with our most-anticipated social event, the RGA Fall Fest. Why the change? For those we support, it's a more unified, powerful celebration of their progress, potential, and the strong community built around them. For you, less to plan and more to celebrate!

After the online fundraiser, join us for a fun-filled, family-friendly morning at our signature property in Burr Ridge. On Sunday, September 21, 2025 from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon , you're invited to a serene half-mile walk along our newly-installed sensory path, and a Fall Festival featuring a DJ dance party, yard games, face painting, pony rides, petting zoo, and healthy snacks for all. Lace up your shoes, connect with your community, and champion people with disabilities.
