This year, we’re transforming Urban Outfitters at the Navy Yard into the ultimate Homecoming celebration—a night filled with pep band energy, yearbook-worthy memories, and all the school spirit you can muster.
This isn’t just any Party in the Yard—it’s our 20th Anniversary! Mark your calendars and come out to celebrate 20 years of bringing stability, hope, and happy HOMECOMINGS to families facing their child’s medical crisis.
As we gear up for an amazing 2025 event, we are still basking in the glory of this past Party in the Yard…

Fred’s Footsteps held its first spring fundraiser – The Party in the Park – on June 8, 2007 at Franklin Square Park in Philadelphia. The park had recently re-opened following a multi-million dollar rehabilitation by Historic Philadelphia, Inc., and was sparkling with its beautiful Merry-go-round and miniature golf course. After three years in the park, the event moved to Fairmount Park’s Please Touch Museum for four successful years before finding its home at Urban Outfitters, Inc. in the Philadelphia Navy Yard. 2024 marks our 10th year in this incredible, exclusive location. Now appropriately named the Party in the YARD, the event has been deemed by many the most fun event of the season!
