The heart of the Wilmette Witches Ride is giving back, and every dollar raised helps us make a bigger impact for our 2026 beneficiary, Erika’s Lighthouse, and the young people they support.

The $45 minimum donation is all you need to ride! If you're feeling inspired to make a little more magic, rally your friends, family, neighbors, and fellow witches to support your ride. Fundraising is completely optional, but we’re excited to see our witches get creative and raise as much as they can for this important cause.

The witch who raises the most will be crowned our 2026 HEAD WITCH! She’ll lead the pack and officially kick off this year’s ride. (Head Witch competition closes at 8pm on 10/9.)

So spread the word, summon your coven, and see how much good we can do together.
