The Cedar Lake Foundation is proud to introduce the first-ever Cedar Lake Stroll, an all-abilities, fundraising walk set to take place on Sat., Oct. 11, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at Cedar Lake Lodge. This family-friendly event invites individuals of all ages and abilities to walk, celebrate community, and help support Cedar Lake’s mission of providing highly compassionate, capable care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities so they may experience a life of abundant possibilities.
Participants will stroll along a paved, wheelchair-accessible path that meanders around the Cedar Lake Lodge campus. Walkers can complete as many laps as they choose. Beyond the walk itself, attendees will enjoy festival-style activities, music, a variety of food trucks serving breakfast and lunch fare, and an Artists Village showcasing handcrafted items, including those crafted by individuals benefiting from Cedar Lake’s programs.
Upon registration, each walker or team receives a personalized fundraising page, allowing them to share their story, set a monetary goal, and solicit support from friends, family, and colleagues. Proceeds generated will directly fund Cedar Lake’s residential services, day programs, and enrichment activities—critical resources that foster independence, community integration, and personal growth for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
“Community support is essential to our mission,” said Julie Torzewski, Executive Director of the Cedar Lake Foundation. “The Cedar Lake Stroll provides a unique opportunity for local businesses, families, and individuals to walk alongside the individuals that we serve—and make an immediate, tangible impact.” Sponsorship opportunities of various levels are also available.
Registration is now open at CedarLakeStroll.com. Individuals may register as solo walkers or form teams to compete for fundraising prizes. Corporate, family, and community groups are encouraged to secure their sponsorship or register today to help Cedar Lake continue delivering life-changing services.
