The Annual Holiday Housewalk and Market is the largest fundraising event of the Oak Park River Forest Infant Welfare Society, providing important funds to support the OPRF IWS Children’s Clinic. For more than two decades this event has taken place the first weekend in December, kicking off the holiday season with visitors touring five beautifully decorated homes in the OPRF community.
During these unprecedented times of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have moved this 22nd Annual Housewalk event online for the safety of our homeowner hosts and our tour guests, and enhanced the "virtual tour" experience with a number of new elements. The home tours will now be videotaped in advance, and guests can watch the high-quality videos from the safety of their own homes during the entire month of December.
New this year is the Grand Raffle, where the winner can take home the $10,000 prize! We have created six different ticket packages for every budget. All ticket packages provide full access to all Virtual Home Tours and entertaining Holiday How-To videos. Please join us for some holiday fun, and help provide children in more than 50 area communities with needed medical, dental and behavioral health services.
