Little Black Hills Battles is a recognition of Monument Health’s Pediatric patients who bravely fight childhood illness and disease every day right here in our community. During this walk you will get to know many of these brave children and their heroic stories. Join us for a celebration following the walk with music, food trucks, bubbles and more!

With temperatures in the mid 60's, several members of the RCWA gathered at Old Story Book Island Park today to support the Little Black Hills Battles at Monument Pediatrics. This is a fundraiser to assist young people (and their parents) battling diseases at Monument Pediatrics.
Attendees (12) included Rick, Ed, Frank, Lon, Maggie, Keith, Denni, Grant, Tony, Tyler, Bob and Kathie
Giraffes were designed and tested by Jerry. All 55 giraffes were made by Jerry using 1" poplar. Thanks Jerry!
Frank, Bob and Kathie assisted the little folks with the coloring of giraffes or love bugs or vans. Tony and his friend Tyler glued and installed wheels. Rick, Ed, Grant, Lon, Keith and Denni helped the little folks test out and race their vehicles of choice. Over 45 giraffes were colored by kids of all ages ranging from a few months to teens. Twenty love bugs/vans were colored, wheeled and raced. Many parents and lots of kids were very excited about the wooden toys today!
