Our annual fall Made in the Shade: Walk, Roll, Run takes place at Lake Bde Maka Ska and raises funds for critical needs in our 37 group homes. This may include replacing vehicles, furniture or appliances, and also provides funding for activities and enrichment programs. Funds also support our In-Home program and Rainbow Support Group. Wingspan is pleased to collaborate with six other disability organizations joining us to celebrate the event’s 33rd year!

Join us for all of the usual fun—free food, entertainment by the Showstoppers, a visit from the Minnesota Roller Derby, photo opps with MN Superheroes United and more. Street parking is free. The event kicks off with event host WCCO anchor Shayla Reaves, followed by a spirited exercise warm up at 10:20 am with instructors from The Firm.​ You may choose to walk around the lake or enjoy music at the mainstage. Lunch is provided from 11 am -12 pm.
