Save the date for our 2026 event!
In the meantime, check out this recap of last year’s Party in the Yard…
In 2025 we transformed 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.
It wasn’t just any Party in the Yard—it was our 20th Anniversary!
Thank you for coming out to celebrate 20 years of bringing stability, hope, and happy HOMECOMINGS to families facing their child’s medical crisis.

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. 2025 marks our 11th 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!
