Willy's World invites you to participate in the first annual "Walk for Willy's World," supporting families and children with hidden disabilities. Join us on Sunday, June 29, 2025, at Sharon Speedway in Hartford, OH from 12 PM to 4 PM. This fun event will feature a walk around the racetrack, a DJ playing a variety of music, games for the kids, a basket raffle, craft vendors, face painting and hair tinsel, race car display, food, drinks, and informational tables from community sponsors and business, as well as other community agencies.

The funds collected from this event will assist families and children with hidden disabilities. Willy's World aims to provide information, support, resources, and guidance to these families. We will also team up with the community to raise awareness and provide sensory-friendly activities and inclusive spaces. Our long-term goal is to secure additional funding to assist families and local organizations that support children with hidden disabilities.
