To make the Walk a success, we need your help. The Stop for Maya Foundation works with Children’s Memorial Hospital Heartlight Bereavement Program, which supports families who have lost loved ones in traumatic incidents, particularly children.

All contributions help support vital programming needed to maintain the unique needs of medical providers, so they are better able to care for trauma victims and their families, while coping with their own emotional struggles.

We hope you will support our efforts by making a monetary contribution. In return, we will recognize your company by putting your information and logo on all event signage, our website and you will be included in all media and collateral materials.
