Our next steps can change the course for a kid growing up in an orphanage or foster care!
We are building a team to bring change, hope, and the chance for kids to start a new chapter and live a life of love and acceptance!
This year, our team is called “The Goose Pack” in honor of our beloved Min Pin, Goose, who crossed the rainbow bridge earlier this year. For nine years, Goose hiked alongside us at Hike with Your Heart. Now, in our 10th year at Kenneth Hahn, we hike in Goose’s memory. And everyone who hikes with the Goose Pack gets a super-cool, limited-edition Goose pin!
Why We Hike
Over 365,000 kids in the U.S. and 8 million worldwide are in foster care programs and orphanages—without the love and stability of a permanent family or a mentor looking out for them. So lace up, grab a water bottle and sign up to hike with us today! Join us to raise funds and reach our team fundraising goal to support Kidsave's life-changing programs.
The Ripple Effect of Every Dollar
Every gift has the power to create lasting connections.
- In Weekend Miracles, teens in foster care meet caring adults each month at fun, kid-centered events. That’s how 16-year-old Adyn met Jacob and Alyssa, and now the couple are his mentors, and say they will be in his corner always.
- In Summer Miracles, kids from Colombia come for 5 weeks in the summer or 3 weeks in the winter when no families can be found in their own country. That’s how Sebastian met the Barkey family. A simple visit led to a permanent home filled with love and belonging.
Adyn and Sebastian’s stories remind us that resilience, hope, and love can transcend backgrounds, borders, and language.
Help us create moments like these for more kids in the U.S. and around the world.
