Step Out for Hospice We are incredibly grateful to the many individuals, teams, organizations, and businesses who supported the 27th Annual Step Out for Hospice walk/run at the Irish American Club of Woburn. Through your generosity, we raised more than $82,000 for end-of-life care. Thank you! Save the date for the 28th annual Step Out for Hospice on Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025! Step Out for Hospice is presented by the Woburn Friends of VNA Hospice & Palliative Care, the Irish American Club of Woburn, and the Shamrock Running Club. Results from the 2024 road race can be found on New England Timing's website. Sponsorships Sponsorships support more than the event; they make it possible for us to ensure local residents who are experiencing the challenges of life-limiting illnesses and loss receive the exceptional care and support they need and deserve.
