Whether you run, walk or just stand and cheer, you’re invited to help make spirits bright for hospitalized youngsters in need by contributing a new toy (value of $10 or more) to Children’s Memorial Hospital. More than 2,000 toys were donated at last year’s race.

Toys will be collected starting 11/23 - 12/13 at the Fleet Feet Sports Chicago (3) locations, and at the race site on Sunday (12/14). The need is great, so the more toys the merrier.

Since Children’s Memorial Hospital was founded in 1882, philanthropy has helped provide the resources to support pediatric care that is unsurpassed in quality and compassion. Children’s Memorial, its staff of fundraising professionals, affiliated organizations and volunteers work together to secure contributions that advance the mission of the hospital. To help even more, add a little “cash to the stocking” by including a donation with your race entry fee. 100% of all donations go to the hospital.
