Hey awesome runners!
As part of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon Charity Program, CIF has an entry with your name on it! Join our awesome #TeamCIF, lace up those sneakers, and let’s hit the pavement for an incredible cause. We’re all about empowering individuals with disabilities and their families to live their best lives!
And here’s a fun fact to get you pumped: Since 2007, our fabulous TeamCIF has zoomed, jogged, and sprinted their way to raising over $100,000! Yep, you read that right – $100K for full lives! Ready to join the fun and make a difference? Let’s do this!
First, a few quick things to make sure we’re all on the same track (pun intended!). We ask runners to:
- Cover your own registration fee – think of it as investing in some serious fun!
- Sign our CIF Running Waiver Agreement. Safety first, right?
- Ready to boost your fundraising game? Set up your cool fundraising page on GiveLively! It’s connected to the TeamCIF page and will make asking for those generous donations a breeze. Aim high with a goal of $1750!
- Dive into the world of email and social media. Let’s spread the word and make some noise about our mission! Make sure to wrap up your fundraising adventures by October 31, 2024.
- If life throws a curveball (or a sore muscle), give us a shout! Let us know ASAP about any injuries or change of running plans.
Oh, and speaking of connections – many of our fabulous runners have personal ties to the disability community or work in the disability support field. If that sounds like you, let us know! We give a special shoutout to these amazing folks when we pick our entries.
Ready to run, fundraise, and have a blast with us? We sure hope so!
