Kristi Capel of “Fox 8 News in the Morning” returns as Honorary Media Chair and Emcee. Proceeds benefit grief support services, art and music therapy, pediatric hospice care and other services not reimbursed by insurance.

Returning this year are Comfort Buddies (trade name, Warmies by Intelex). For each $100 raised by a team or individual beyond the registration fee, a lavender-scented Comfort Buddy will be delivered to a patient. The therapeutic plush animals reduce agitation and provide a sense of well being to pediatric patients, those living with advanced dementia and many others
