2024 Race for the Family Fundraiser

The Cade Foundation's Maryland Race for the Family, hosted by Shady Grove Fertility, is our  fun run/walk that celebrates the strength and courage it takes to OVERCOME infertility. All proceeds from the event fund Family Building Grants that help others afford the costs associated with fertility treatment or adoption.

For every $25 raised by fundraisers through this tool registrants will receive an extra raffle ticket for $10,000 in treatment at Shady Grove Fertility. 

What is it?  The Race for the Family is a few things.... an amazing Community gathering celebrating ALL THINGS connected to family building

- A 1 mile fun walk/run  along a measured path along the lake path

- A children's learning and play area (Savannah's Playground) and a "toddler trot" where kiddos aged 2-4 can race.

FertiliFest is a finish line party for all event registrants including a DJ and dance party, games, snacks and SUPPORT from groups and organizations that support families overcoming infertility.
