With one in every 2,500 births, NF is one of the most common rare genetic disorders in the US that many people haven't even heard of. The need for services for children, adults, and their families within our community is crucial. To meet this need, the NF Network promotes and advocates for scientific research and provides outreach through education and awareness. We need your support to continue these services! <img src="https://cdn.raceroster.com/events/fe27a145-7976-492c-b54f-33b11a85da7e/images/67af9f5406a7e.png" alt="67af9f5406a7e.png">
#NFstrong is NOT a race; it’s a blanket of love for our community - so enjoy a beautiful morning and take in the scenic views, knowing that every stride is making a difference! Stay for the foam party!

The IKEA Family Kite Festival Soars Back for Its 39th Year at Veterans Park
Milwaukee, WI — Gift of Wings is thrilled to announce that the IKEA Family Kite Festival is returning to Milwaukee’s lakefront for the 39th consecutive year. Spring is finally here — it’s time to GO FLY A KITE!
On Saturday, May 23, and Sunday, May 24, 2026, join us at beautiful Veterans Park (1010 N. Lincoln Memorial Drive) for two days of spectacular kite flying, family fun, and breathtaking aerial displays. The festival runs from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.
The highlight of each day is the Grand Launch at noon, when more than 600 kites will fill the sky in a colorful spectacle you won’t want to miss. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrNgcpp5Mn8" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrNgcpp5Mn8</a>
