The 5K Monarch March – Elk Grove Village, IL 2026

This year, the Monarch Organization is honored to walk in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital—and we’d love for you to join us. Come walk, run, or simply enjoy a sunny day at beautiful Busse Woods (Picnic Grove 32) as we come together for a great cause. The trail is an easy, peaceful 1.6-mile route—flat and accessible for all ages—with a turnaround point to guide us back to the picnic area. After the walk, we invite you to stick around for backyard games and laughter. The Monarch Organization was created in loving memory of our daughter, Piper Logan, who tragically passed away at the age of 5. We honor her vibrant spirit by donating 100% of our proceeds to organizations that serve children in need. Our mission is simple: to help ensure that every child has the chance to simply be a kid. We’d be so grateful to see you there—walking beside us, remembering, and giving back. With love, The Dejlitko Family
