For over 16 years, Toy Box Connection, a local children’s charity in Orland Park, has been dedicated to lifting up families and giving back in meaningful ways. Now, we are raising the bar even higher with our 2nd Annual Mental Health/Wellness Fair &amp; Walk—an event created with the whole family in mind, bringing people together to support one another while strengthening the mental wellness of our community .Happening Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, the event welcomes wellness warriors of all ages for a full day of connection and care. The 2K interactive, meditative walk is designed to be fluid throughout the day - no start time, no pressure. Whether you join for five minutes or the full experience, it’s an opportunity to slow down, breathe, and move at your own pace alongside others on a shared journey. The heart of the day continues with a vibrant wellness fair featuring local vendors, mental health advocates, and holistic practitioners offering resources, tools, and inspiration. You’ll find opportunities to learn, explore, and connect in ways that feel approachable and empowering and because healing doesn’t have to be heavy, the event is filled with family-friendly fun. Kids can play on the big obstacle course, bounce house, engage in the huge games, families can relax, and everyone can enjoy food trucks and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to stay awhile. Home Depot will be there to build small crafts with all who would like to get creative. What makes this event truly special is the sense of unity it creates.
