Still Waiting for Your Stroll Incentives?

We apologize that, due to such an extraordinary turn out at this year's Stroll for Strong Kids, we ran out of t-shirts (long and short-sleeved) and beach bag totes. To request the incentive prize we owe you, please send an e-mail to strongkids@admin.rochester.edu, including:

  • Your first and last name
  • The item we owe you, and the size (if applicable)
  • Your full mailing address
  • Your phone number (with area code)

PLEASE NOTE: We are very busy in the process of receiving and processing requests and will let you know when you are able to pick up your incentive. Unfortunately, since it would be cost-prohibitive for us to mail these items, we will request that you pick them up at our East River Road offices when the time comes. Remember, you are entitled to one item, in your category or the one below it, depending on the range in which your total falls:

$250 and up: beach bag tote

$150 to $249: long-sleeved t-shirt

$75 to $149: short-sleeved t-shirt

Thank you again for all your tremendous fundraising efforts of behalf of our region's only children's hospital!
