The Grief Relief Team paves the way for healing after the loss of a loved one.

Runners and walkers raise awareness and support for Comfort Zone Camp by joining the Grief Relief Team. The finish line is just the beginning because your efforts will help children and teens take the next steps of their healing journey after the death of a parent, guardian, or sibling.

What is the Grief Relief Team?

The Grief Relief Team has members from across the country completing races varying in length from 1-mile fun runs to marathons. We are a community of Comfort Zone Camp supporters and individuals honoring loved ones by dedicating a race in their memory.

Join the Grief Relief Team for the Soldier Field races.

1.  Register for the Soldier Field 10 mile race, the Hut Hut Hike, or the Kidz Blitz.

2.  Click the big green Join Now button at the top of this page to join the Grief Relief Team ($25 processing fee).

3.  Create a personal fundraising page on FirstGiving.

What to Expect

Fundraising: After you join the Grief Relief Team, FirstGiving will email you information about setting up your personal fundraising page. The default fundraising goal is $500 because that is the cost to send one grieving child to camp. Set a goal that inspires you and that you can be proud to accomplish.

Support: We will email you the official Grief Relief Team fundraising kit, which will help you reach your goal, and we will provide fundraising support in the weeks leading up to your race.

Stay connected: For added motivation, connect with other Grief Relief Team members on Facebook.
