SunriseWALKS
We Walk so they can SOAR!
Thank you for joining us for SunriseWALKS on April 27, 2025! We’re thrilled to share that nearly $85,000 was raised and 150 walkers joined us at National Harbor to make it all happen!
To everyone who walked, donated, sponsored, volunteered, or cheered from afar — THANK YOU! You’ve helped us take a huge step toward giving 150 children with cancer and their siblings a magical, cost-free summer at Sunrise Day Camp – Greater Washington. Your impact will be felt all season long in every laugh, game, and friendship formed.
From the moment our camp director, counselors, and campers kicked things off the Sunrise Way — with songs, energy, and joy — the magic of came to life! We were all drawn in by Tommy McFly, our fun, engaging emcee, and welcomed our special guests from the Miss Virginia opportunities who joined us to cheer on the crowd.
None of this would have been possible without our incredible Sunrise Leadership Board, every one of you who donated and raised money, everyone who came out to show their support, and our generous sponsors, including Presenting Sponsor AvalonBay Communities and Start/Finish Line Sponsor BARE International, who both took the stage to share their support. We would also like to thank National Harbor for being a fantastic host!
There is no other summer program like this in the Greater Washington Area. Every dollar raised stays in the DMV.
Private donations/grants by foundations, businesses and very special individuals, as well as special events including SunriseWALKS-Greater Washington, will underwrite the costs of running the camp which is the first of its kind here in the DC area.
