Join us for the 26th annual WALK FOR THE FUTURE!
Saturday August 23, 2025
Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, Le Mars, Mount Ayr, Urbandale, Washington
Our annual walk is a statewide family event for SIDS and SUID families to meet or connect, communities to show support, and for each of us to remember and celebrate the lives of Iowa babies. This is an opportunity to support families while creating advocacy for SIDS, SUID and safe sleep. Funds raised at the annual walk are used for the daily operation of the Iowa SIDS Foundation, such as grief resources for newly bereaved Iowans, educational materials and presentations to Iowa healthcare and childcare providers, and to support SIDS/SUID research.
Please note, if you are planning to attend the Walk due to liability requirements, every individual must register.
NEW for 2025 Shirts and apparel:
Based on popularity from previous years, in 2025 we will be offering t-shirts and hooded sweatshirts only. Apparel will only be available to Walkers who register online by the registration deadline. Shirts will not be available on Walk Day and a later order will not be placed.
2025 Registration Information:
For the first time in over 16 years registration fees are increasing beginning in 2025. Walkers will have an option to register for the Walk for $25 ($10 youth) without a t-shirt OR register and have a t-shirt included for $35 ($20 youth). This increased fee will help offset increased costs for hosting the Walks. Hooded sweatshirts will be available for $42. Walk day registration will be $25, reminder, shirts will not be available for those registering on Walk Day.
Want to support our cause but can’t attend on Walk Day? You can register as a “Non-Walker” and your shirt will be mailed directly to you! In 2025, non-walker fees will be $40.
