Each September, a powerful sense of purpose fills the pathways of the Akron Zoo as families, friends, and community partners gather for Walk for Babies—an annual event supporting the Akron Children’s Hospital NICU.
Kaulig Giving is proud to stand alongside Akron Children’s Foundation and Samantha’s Gift of Hope in championing this day of remembrance, resilience, and hope. Our continued support for Team Samantha, named in honor of Samantha Kaulig, reflects our shared commitment to helping families on their NICU journey and beyond.
The morning is filled with joy and gratitude as families reunite with care teams, honor NICU warriors, and walk to raise critical funds for lifesaving neonatal care. With the Akron Zoo’s vibrant backdrop, the event brings comfort, community, and celebration to families who’ve faced some of life’s hardest challenges.
We are endlessly thankful for our partners, the Akron Children’s team, and every family who makes this event unforgettable. Together, we walk for babies—and for hope.
